This is so helpful- thank you so much! I have a product based business and am wanting to grow so I can afford to send my ND son to Forrest school.

Going to start getting some emails prepped for gift guides 😆❤️

Thank you Mara. I have thought about that but I think that for now, keeping it small and reader-funded feels most manageable. But I have an open mind about the future... and would love to support more ND families, so we'll see... Ax

Solid advice, thank you!

One of my first pitches was to the Guardian, around 20 years ago. Editor basically said good article and asked if I was freelance for standard rates. I didn't know what he meant, so I wrote an essay back and didn't hear from him again.
