HELLO!

Kate Spencer here. I’m the author of four books (ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND PICKLEBALL — coming June 2025, ONE LAST SUMMER, IN A NEW YORK MINUTE, THE DEAD MOMS CLUB), former co-host of the award-winning podcast FOREVER35, and, most importantly, a COSTCO EXECUTIVE MEMBER going on fourteen years.

This is the home of my twice-monthly newsletter. Once a month you’ll hear from me about author-y updates, writing thoughts, book events, and my current Four Favorites (which is exactly what it sounds like). On the other week, you’ll get a free-flowing newsletter about whatever’s on my mind; pop culture hyper-fixations, Costco finds, mental health musings, perimenopause woes… You get the vibe.

My newsletter is currently free to receive. (I have no plans to add paid subscriptions but also, who knows!) All money earned from affiliate links is donated to Miry’s List, an organization that supports families resettling in the United States.

You can find out more about me on my website. If you want to know what I look like, please enjoy this photo of me on a camping trip from two summers ago. (I would make this photo smaller, but I do not know how to do that, so you’re stuck with a giant image of my face.)

Thanks for being here!

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
