    Short Stories: Rejecting Jason Bateman & Will Arnett
    Oct 8 2026

    This week, it’s a two-er. The stories of two Bluth brothers – Michael and Gob – aka Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. Their stories are entirely different, yet tethered by some interesting beats. Like – not finishing school, being labelled a smart-ass, being rejected for sitcom after sitcom and crediting Arrested Development with rescuing their careers. Hope you’ll join us.

  • Rejecting John Grisham

    Rejecting John Grisham
    Sep 24 2026

    John Grisham has authored nearly 60 books, adapted into nine motion pictures. He’s written over 50 consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers and is considered one of the best-selling authors of fiction in the U.S. But there was a time when no one wanted his books. Not publishers, not agents, not readers. Grisham drove around Mississippi with boxes of his first novel in the trunk of his car. Then he got an unexpected phone call.

  • “Let Me Down” by our own Callie-Rae O'Reilly

    “Let Me Down” by our own Callie-Rae O'Reilly
    Sep 17 2026

    Apostrophe co-founder and director Callie-Rae O'Reilly has written a new book – a memoir – called “Let Me Down: Reflections on Abuse and Love.” It’s a personal story about the intersections of love, abuse, memory and the stories we tell ourselves about the people who hurt us.


    If you’ve ever wondered “why didn’t she just leave?” this book is an education. It’s fascinating. It’s healing. It untangles shame from so many of our stories.


    Let Me Down is available at Indigo, Amazon or your favourite indie bookstore.
