Welcome to the Subscription Edition of A Newsletter of Humorous Writing. Our paid subscribers keep the weekly newsletter running, and we’re deeply grateful for your support. (And if you’re not already subscribed, you can sign up here.)

Today, we’re talking about how to give a friend notes on a piece: what’s your role? How should you approach it? And why? We’ve got some tips!

After that, we’ve got a couple of recommendations of things we’ve been into lately: an “Email Game” and an omnivorous British podcast.
