The Bright Side
— with Colleen —
A storytelling newsletter about the people, places, and small wonders of Nebraska — written every week by Colleen Williams. Every issue hand-picked, hand-written, and delivered to your porch light at dawn on Thursday.
I spent two decades anchoring the news in Nebraska. A lot of it was the kind of story nobody wanted handed to them before supper. So a year ago I started The Bright Side— the other half of the paper. The half with the Gold Nugget in Boelus, the three women bringing Main Street back, the Stormtroopers who visit the children's hospital on Saturdays.
If you love this place half as much as I do — welcome in. Kettle's on.
Free every Thursday. Paid members get the Sunday Edition, the full archive, and a quarterly print issue in the mail.
“Finally, a reason to open my inbox on a Thursday.”
“Feels like a letter from a friend who still believes in this place.”
“I forward every issue to my daughter in Denver. Keeps her homesick in the best way.”
