CAN I JUST FOLLOW GRACE ALEXANDER ON THE GARDEN COLLECTIVE?

You can curate and control the emails and notifications you get, who you get them from and how often. If you just want my exclusive content, then that’s absolutely fine.

Just sign into your account, click ‘settings’ and then ‘notifications’. You can choose how often you get emails. Then go to ‘following’ and check that you can see my account there. You can add any other writers you would like there too. You will get emails when I publish something, but not when other writers do.
