Hi everyone! I’m really enjoying writing for you and I’m so grateful for all the lovely feedback so far. Let’s get to know each other. Ask me anything here and I will answer as many questions as I can over the next few days. xx
I’ve watched Palace Confidential over the last 3 months and enjoy the program a lot for the most part. There is one caveat— the hair style & wardrobe choices of Jo Elvin immensely distract from her talent. The Nov 16th ensemble was much too distracting— especially the boots. Overall it’s a great program and I’ll continue to watch. I love her guests.
Hello, Jo! I really enjoy you on Palace Confidential and your banter with all of the correspondents. How did you get that gig? And if you were a member of the Royal family (a life turn I sense you would not prefer!), which cause would you want to be the patron for?
Hi Jo, What is guaranteed to make you ‘belly laugh’? For me it’s Laurel & Hardy😀 LOVE your newsletters, they are inspiring me to grab opportunities and run with them
Thanks for doing this Jo! Really loved your latest newsletter about saying yes to opportunities when doubt creeps in. Do you have any tips for when you’re lacking motivation? I do genuinely love my job and feel lucky and grateful to do it - I work as a editor of books for primary school children. But for some reason right now (and I’m getting over Covid, so maybe that’s a factor) I have a severe ‘meh’ feeling sitting at my desk. Not helpful when I have deadlines to meet! Xx
I’m loving your newsletters so much! I love the honesty, and love every time a new one is posted. How do you feel about leaving the “media” and heading into the charity sector? It’s something I’ve half done/want to but for years my identity has been made up of me being a “journalist”, which can be a strange one to shake off!
Professionally, has there ever been a trend/idea/movement that you wish you’d come up with or got on board with first? Similarly a book or piece of written work that you’d wish you had written yourself? As it is Earth day, favourite place on earth?
Hi Jo, you might not be able to answer this for various reasons but what were your thoughts on the direction Glamour took after you left? I was a long standing subscriber but after it went quarterly I found the tone of it changed dramatically. It felt like it became far more of a 'fashion' magazine, with articles on plastic surgery (and why you should have it) etc rather than celebrating individuals for who they are. Did you notice this or did you avoid reading the Mag after you left (as I do...!)

Love to laugh for “real” as opposed to laugh trying to fend off other thoughts and or emotions.
