About the creator

A social life, with friends is the latest labour of love by writer, interviewer and author Madeleine Dore.

Like her previous projects Extraordinary Routines and Routines & Ruts, and current newsletter On Things, it’s also for curious, thoughtful people looking for ways to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and feel connected in the world.

As Anaïs Nin said, “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”

Let’s explore those infinite worlds 🦋
