Volume twelve of the Small Space Big Life newsletter is available now. Here's an exceprt: Hello Small Space Big Life friends! We've been hard at work revising HANK book 2, drafting META book 2, outlining SUMMER book 1, and developing an exciting, new nonfiction proposal. In the meantime, we have recaps and photos from Walt Disney World, Broadkill Writers Retreat, and the SHUWPF Summer Residency. There's also another giveaway, books we've been reading, and a new feature where we detail part of our 980-square-foot urban cottage. It's over 80 years old now, and we've spent a quarter of that time taking care of every little nook and cranny, decorating it with art from our travels and gifts from family and friends, and making it as hygge as possible.
