About me

Jane Claire Bradley

Hiya. Iโ€™m Jane Claire Bradley, an award-winning writer, performer, therapist and educator based in Manchester, UK. Iโ€™ve always been obsessed with championing multi-hyphen misfits and counter-cultural weirdos, and the importance and power of stories.

Speaking of stories: I write fiction, essays and performance poetry, usually about some combination of queerness, class, mental health, magic, identity and the uncanny. And this newsletter, where Iโ€™ll be sharing:

  • My writing journey, process, obsessions, inspo and project updates

  • Reflections and essays on my favourite topics, which include things likeโ€ฆ creativity, community, mutual care, class, queerness, sex, subcultures, surviving capitalism, trauma recovery, and the psychologies behind popular arts and culture

  • Real-life updates, about me as a human and what Iโ€™ve been up to

  • Hand-picked reads, recommendations and other resources to turbo-boost your creativity, magic and mental health

Subscribe now to stay in touch with me here. Issues will be delivered straight to your inbox , so youโ€™ll never miss an update.

For now, issues of this newsletter will be sent out fortnightly, and available to everyone. But if you want to support me and my writing, you can consider upgrading to a paid subscription, which will get you access to the full archive, some bonus extras, and the knowledge that your spare change is directly empowering me to keep making and sharing my words over here.
