What is this newsletter about?
I write HEFTY MATTERS and invite you join a wonderful community for short stories and extra treats that make us think.
I also feature regular recommendations of the best writing of Substack — a great way to showcase writers who deserve our attention.
Who am I?
It may sound simple, but I think writing and editing are fun.
I have contributed over 100 articles to Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, Equine Journal, and other publications.
I graduated from Yale Law School and the University of Virginia.
I value your feedback, so please reach out to me here.
How often do you post?
I post 2-3 times weekly, directly to your inbox and here on the Web.
Is the newsletter free?
Yes. All archives are also free.
Who are your mascots?
I get lots of questions about my mascot. That’s Bodhi (rear) with his friends. He’s a senior dog with lots of energy. He has his own cat, Hannah, and she him. She’s in charge of office supplies — an exhausting responsibility.
