What is Small Stories?

Small Stories is a series of letters from me to you about searching for magic & meaning. These are the secrets of my writing life, sent from my tiny loft-room study straight to your inbox.

I'm Laura, author of the book Little Stories of Your Life, and creator of Instagram account @circleofpines. I’m currently working on my second book, whilst chasing foggy mornings and seeking dancing light.
