Good afternoon everyone. Cami Fateh here. Anna and I are subbing in for Emily while she tries OOO.
I’m drinking a can of Leisure Hydration electrolyte lemonade right now while I work on something else for you guys that is not included in today’s letter. A 12-pack of the lemonade arrived in a box yesterday. I ordered it after Andrea Hernández recommended it in her Guest Lecture. It tastes like a vodka lemonade without the vodka. But I’m dedicated to hydration above most other things, so I’ll probably finish the whole box by the start of next week.
In today’s letter: A new “adults only” creator platform from the former CEO of OnlyFans, A24 is getting into the restaurant game, and an interview with SJP on her new books-focused Substack and why she and her friend Andy Cohen love libraries.
A dispatch from Emily abroad:
Last week, I spoke on the phone with Sarah Jessica Parker after ignoring her call twice. Her number comes up as private. On the third try, we ended up having a great conversation about her imprint’s expansion to Substack and the delights of New York City libraries.
SJP Lit, Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint with Zando, launched a new bi-monthly newsletter on Substack (a platform which has quickly become the epicenter for people who like to talk about books). The newsletter will include exclusive interviews with authors, cultural recommendations, and musings from the SJP Lit team.
Below, a bit of our conversation:
