“How areyoufeeling?” she replies. He levels her with alook, the one she’s grown to love or dread solely based on whether she’s the intended recipient. “It was a blip. And I took care of it.”

Subject:Editor—The Sophomore English Agenda
Hi Kevin,
Sanaa let me know you were interested in working with me and okay with the compensation, so I thought I’d reach out to introduce myself and get started.
I’m Elle, and my day job is working with books, so I’m fairly well-read. I also have a lot of opinions. That’s basically the podcast—I work my way through the standard American high school reading list and share my thoughts.
I’ve been on a biweekly schedule that I’d like to keep up if possible. I also recently started a Patreon, and the support there has both shocked me and sent me into a shame spiral about how all I’ve had to offer them so far is extended cuts and previews of normal episodes. I’d like to do some sort of actual new bonus content, but I’ve been really struggling to find time to record and edit three episodes on my own a month. So hopefully, that’s where you come in!
I’ve already got next week’s handled and good to go. I have three more recorded, but I only have a rough cut of the first. I’ve attached that one here. Usually, I record 1–1.5 hours and then try to edit down to 30–40 min. A lot of it is cutting outthe horrifying number of “uhhs” and “oh my god what am I SAYINGs” every time I misspeak, so… sorry in advance. I also like to make the title something (hopefully) funny I said in the episode to drive listener curiosity. For this one, I’m thinking “Michael B. Jordan Did Ray Bradbury Dirty and Not in a Fun Way.” Of course, I am open to any and all suggestions! I usually publish at noon Eastern on Wednesdays so would the same time on Tuesdays be okay as a deadline? I’ll send you more rough cuts as soon as I have them.
