Why subscribe?

I can promise you the moon and the stars but to be completely honest, to support me as a writer and creative - that’s why you can choose to subscribe. In return I will post the world through the eyes of Tusiata.

I will also post poems and other work in progress. Getting stuff published always takes a while (3-5 years for a book). It’s also always dependent on whether an editor likes it - or these days feels it might be incendiary (I wish I was joking).

This is a great way to cut out the middle person/ watch dog and get my work to you before the ACT party gets their far-right undies in a knot and starts issuing threats.
