Articles, Updates, and Writing Opportunities!
I'm back, baby
I’m back! I was moving house, so been out of things, but I’m back! I’m still playing around with how to use this newsletter, but my idea is that I’ll put all the articles that came out this week into this ‘Digestif’, along with any updates.
Sound good? Leave thoughts in the comments below (and yes, they’ll be open on this one for freebies)
Quick Updates
Interested in writing about cars, watches, architecture, fashion, travel, food, drink, and other life related things? Pitch me! I want more writing than ever, so email me at randerson@thespectator.com. If you haven’t pitched me before, consider reading my quick guide here!
Will you be at London Fashion Week? I will! If you’re around, feel free to reach out over email, or say hello at person; I’ll be at as many shows as I can physically get to!
New podcast coming out Tuesday; and it’s a great one.
