Welcome!

Survival by Book is essays and chats on work, love, art & other life-stuff, seen through a bookish lens.

Issues come out semi-monthly and are free. Paid subscribes get access to the weekly “GroupChat” dispatch and other behind-the-scenes kinds of things.

What readers are saying:

If you don't already subscribe, you really ought to. Courtney is a whip-smart writer, a lover of books and words, and a . . . force to be reckoned with.

—Literary North

Courtney is at her best—that’s saying something—when telling her own story. She writes things that remind me of parts of my life; so different but somehow exactly the same. A gift.

–Judith Solberg, creator of Doodle Dispatches
