New at sixty

I post cooking, colourful clothes and beach walks from my Norwich terrace, and speak at women’s events about starting over. I work with brands and publishers by inquiry, and sell a brand-pitch planner and a tee.

Colour, cooking and starting over.

I post cooking, bright clothes and beach walks from my Norwich terrace, and I speak at women’s events. My audience is adult, warm and likes a plan.

About

Hi, I’m Octavia. I started something new at sixty.

I’m from Norwich, where I cook, wear colour and walk the beach most mornings. At sixty I started posting it all, and people kept asking how I did it.

Now brands and publishers work with me through the media kit, and I speak at women’s events about starting over. The planner is how I keep it all in order.

Start with what you already do well, and let the rest catch up.

FAQ

Before you write

Still unsure? Write to me and I’ll answer myself.

How do I work with you?

Open the media kit, then send an inquiry with the brand, the dates and what you have in mind. Brand work, speaking and press are all by inquiry.

What is in the planner?

A media-kit checklist, email templates for pitching brands and a page to track every reply. It is a PDF, so you can print the pages you like.

How does the planner arrive?

After checkout you get an email with a link to the PDF, and you can download it again whenever you like.

Do you work with publishers?

Yes. Publishers, magazines and radio can write through the same media kit. Those are by inquiry too.

Do you ship the merch abroad?

Yes. Everything is printed to order and shipped to you, usually within a week.

Do you speak at events?

Yes, at women’s events and talks about starting something new. Tell me the date and the city.
