Leaf & Quill List
Step into a quieter world—where stories grow slowly, and letters arrive like falling leaves.
The Leaf & Quill List is our seasonal letter from Hawthorn Quill Publishing.
We share glimpses of the literary grove:
New releases and cover reveals
Reflections from behind the press
Garden notes, mythic musings, and writing inspiration
Exclusive previews and early invitations
No noise. No clutter. Just words worth keeping.
