Hello!
I am Derya Atlas. I live in London and I work a lot during the day, paying rent like everybody else. So I recover at night, resuming my interests and ambitions. One of them is Onlyherstory, an online history project with 50k+ followers, where we capture stories of ‘ordinary’ women in Turkey.
This newsletter reflects what sustain me that week, what I find interesting, be it literature & publishing, arts, culture or history. Mostly books. You’ll understand that it might not be in line with what’s trending now. I myself resist the temptation and pressure of being caught up with anything and everything, so I hope this newsletter will make a small contribution to our slowing down.
Enjoy, and help me spread the word by sharing it on your social media or simply forwarding this to a friend. Let me know what sustains you, too. Thank you!
