Hey Y'all, Thanks for Coming to My Party
What can I get you to drink?
Welcome to the Savannah Sideways Substack ~
I’m your hostess, Jessica Leigh Lebos: Writer, adopted Southerner, anti-socialite, and camellia thief. I’m passionately in love with my city, which of course means sometimes I want to slap it silly and send it to therapy—or at least to bed to sober up.
I’m also the author of the books Savannah Sideways and The Camellia Thief & Other Tales, available at local independent bookstores, via Amazon if you must, or out of the trunk of my old lady Mercedes, which is best.
Every week readers get the dish on what it’s like to live in Savannah, GA, a magical place moss-draped in charm and brimming with paradoxes. Maybe you’ve lived here for ages, maybe you’ve just arrived, maybe you’ve touched down on the cobblestones once or twice and want a regular fix of porch time and sticky sweet humidity. Well, pull up a chair and put up your feet, ‘cause I’m your gimlet-eyed gossip girl. I don’t lie, but I won’t promise not to embellish.
Many of these reads are free for a limited time, and you can choose to becoming a paying subscriber to access the full archives as well as share, comment on, and support my work. If you’re feeling generous and able, you can become a founding benefactor.
