Hi,

I’m Edward, and welcome to my Substack.

Since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I’ve always been fascinated with writing. I never got to use a typewriter like the one below, but looking at it makes me happy, because it reminds me of my passion for the written word.

As a kid, I used to get a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I read my favourite writers. Now, as a writer myself, I want to give you that same feeling every time you open up the latest edition of my “newsletter” which contains dispatches from my notebook, tidbits, essays, or simply personal stories or observations. Sometimes I will write about more concrete topics, should as health, finance, and fitness.

Take a look below to read some of my best writing:

Work is Fundamental: A Personal Odyssey

Oxen of the Sun – on the difficulties of modern work

The Lost Souls Society – reflections on being a perpetual wonderer and wanderer.

I also have many more articles in the archives. I’d love for you to join me on my writing journey – click below to receive all my new work straight into your inbox.

Literary Dispatches is supported by you, the reader. To receive new posts and find out what I’m thinking about, click below to subscribe.
