You've Escaped is a newsletter by Anaïs Escobar Mathers, a writer and editor living in Toronto. It's a decade-long ever evolving project in storytelling, delving into family, identity, mental health, pop culture and the big and small feelings that so many of us have felt. Every Wednesday: stories from the past, stories to be present.

Help keep the lights on: $5/month or $40/year (annual subscription includes access to the You've Escaped Slack community and book club). There is also now a Pay What You Want option in case you can't afford the suggested annual rate or you want to contribute more than the suggested annual rate. If you're experiencing financial hardships, please email me and I’ll get you sorted. This offer is especially extended towards BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, etc folks.
