Jo Macdonald

Jo Macdonald’s online literary space brings together readers, writers, and families who want to make room for stories and cosy living. Created by writer and book lover Jo, the site shares book recommendations, literary discoveries, reviews, and reflections through My Notebook, her blog. It also offers practical reading, writing, and journaling resources, including free printables and materials available through the Library, which subscribers can access by joining the newsletter.

Visitors can explore Jo’s designed journals in the Shop, along with ebooks and other digital resources. The Little Book Dragons section supports people raising young readers, with age-based areas for children from birth to 12 years old, as well as tips, recommendations, and resources. A quiz, “Which Book Dragon Are You?”, adds another way to explore the site’s bookish content.

Jo’s work is guided by the belief that stories matter at every age, whether read, written, or lived. Her newsletter shares bookish news, tips, updates, suggested reads, and progress on her own book-writing.
