Clio/Mireille: A Fanfiction Podcast Clio Doyle

Thanks so much to those of you who have listened to and supported this podcast! I am so excited to announce that my book, Dear Reader: Taylor Swift and the Idea of English Literature, will be published by Hutchinson Heinemann in 2026. 

You can find the press release here: https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/hutchinson-heinemann-exclusively-pre-empts-academic-clio-doyles-celebration-of-taylor-swift-lyrics 

Meanwhile, I’m coming across all sorts of interesting ideas, having some weird ideas of my own, and generally marinating in Swift content. Hence… the newsletter!
I’m planning to round up my favorite Taylor-Swift-related (and some broader literature-related) reading and thinking every two weeks. You can expect: links to articles, including anything I publish, close readings of songs, updates on my teaching and book, reactions to Swift’s new releases, and anything else I think might be of interest. So please do subscribe if you want to go on this journey with me!
