Making the case for a Mill writer living in Todmorden

A writer’s edition from our newest staff member

Dear members — We’ve got a very special writer’s edition for you today. After four-plus years of Jack and Mollie holding down the fort here at Mill HQ, we’ve added a third full-time writer to the team: the thoughtful and hilarious Ophira Gottlieb. Ophira is an editor’s dream; her filed copy is always squeaky-clean, she never fails to make me laugh, and I always come away from reading her lovely, inventive prose thinking about the world a little bit differently. Today, after your regularly scheduled Mill briefing, Ophira introduces herself; read all about what she’s reading and drinking below. Plus, she got some advice from locals about how best to approach her new role. (Some of their tips were a bit more helpful than others.)
