As a longtime fan of The Moth, Natural Born Storytellers, Mortified and other true-story projects, I love a good story. Maybe you’re here because you do too.

During Covid-19 lockdowns, one of the things I missed the most was getting up on stage at The Moth in London and at other venues, hearing and sharing real-life stories that made the audience laugh, cry, pause, gasp and relate.

Now you can get a lovingly crafted true story like that every week, straight into your inbox and available on the Wednesday’s Ghost website. Like the name suggests, it comes out every Wednesday, more or less without fail. As a subscriber, you’ll never miss a story.

As a paid subscriber, you’ll get bonus content at least once a month, a free paperback copy of All the Ghosts in the Machine: The Digital Afterlife of Your Personal Data (or an Audible download), and a free copy of This is Your Life on Tech when it is released in paperback. Those are nonfiction books, but I try to write them like the storyteller I hope I am.

My true-life stories cover a range of human experiences, spanning love, death, family, parenting, technology, social and cultural events, work, and psychology. If you love The Moth and other true-storytelling projects, I think you’ll like my stories.
