About this site

Brown Paper Packages is an independent publication launched in February 2025 by Amy Wilde (hi, that's me, hello!). Here's the first post, explaining how and why it started.

If you subscribe, you'll get full access to all volumes of the newsletter and an email with each new one as soon as it's available (roughly once a month). Just be sure to click on the confirmation link in your inbox; otherwise, you'll sit in Ghost limbo forever.

So: no algorithms, no social media integrations, never me trying to sell you anything. Just a simple monthly(ish) delivery you can opt out of at any time with a single click. I'm not out here trying to bother anybody; we're all plenty bothered already.

Enjoy!
