welcome to *something new*
it's free. it's fun. it's full of love and literature.
hello friend. you are receiving this substack for one of the following reasons:
you were a reader of the former 2011–2017 blog hannah hart beat (read the goodbye letter here)
you signed up for the once was 2019 hannah hart beat newsletter (read the old newsletter here)
you signed up for *something new*—a substack authored by me hannah hart wilken
regardless of how you got here, i am so glad we are here together.
today marks the beginning of *something new*—a semi-weekly newsletter delivered straight to your inbox.
this new iteration of me writing to you can be summarized by a quote by annie ernaux: “admit it: i’ve never wanted anything but love. and literature.” as my mother would say, nuff said.
in the coming months, i’m excited to share with you all things regarding love, literature, and life. i have posts ready about my favorite books that i read while getting my mfa, travel recommendations for montreal, what it really looks like to be a farmers wife in rural massachusetts, and so much more including thoughts on life, writing, creativity, movies, work, and friendship.
i can’t wait to start *something new* with you.
