Aug 2026 Newsletter - From Scottish Snafus to Story Shares

Aug 11

Jacqui Lents shares her August 2026 audio newsletter, including a Scotland travel story where her phone’s audio-to-text gets a foul mouth. Writers are encouraged to take part in the short story submissions for her podcast’s Story Share series, and listen to episode 102. The month's Ridiculous Reads pick is Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh, plus a September Bookish Flights book club featuring Walsh. A special thanks is extended to the attendees of the Crooked Nook event at Sherwood Brewery. Also, new dresses for upcoming author events are incoming. Here are events:
