First off, apologies for the late newsletter this time around. It’s pretty normal for Leah to not know what day it is, but this time life scrambled her brain enough to ensure she didn’t even know which month it was - she made an April Fool’s joke on May 1st… What’s been happening!? The New...

A week and a half of 18-hour (or more) work days. 2 all-nighters. Some stress and anxiety, naturally. There always is, when there’s two manuscripts to send to print simultaneously. Even so, it’s always worth it. All of it. The time and effort we spend on our company is the most enjoyable work we’ve ever done. We’re living our best lives, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s not every day we get to work our dream jobs, but some day, it will be.
