At Substack Reads, we delight in the joy of finding new writers to fall in love with each week: some you may know already, others will be delicious discoveries. This week’s edition is no different.
A good thing for you, I am finding too much good content on Substack. Too much in the sense that the total monthly price would spiral a bit out of control. Each writer worth the 5 to 10 bucks, for sure. But I'd be at hundreds per month easily, today, if I subscribed to every good thing I've seen in the past month. I have no solution for this problem. Though I despised cable TV pricing and really am a curmudgeon about the proliferation of streaming services. For me, no doubt Substack is by far the best source of content. And I feel good that the fees go to writers directly. So, I guess don't change anything? And do whatever you can to insulate Substack from corporate takeover or takedown. And thank you.
Thanks for all of your great writings. So much good stuff to consume. This week I subscribed to Steve Schmidt, I have subscribed to Joyce Vance previously. I LOVE reading Kareem Abdul-Jabar’s (sp?) writings and hope to budget a paid subscription soon, fixed income doesn’t allow for many, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy Substack writings.
Margret Atwood is a favorite writer for me. Her new short story “Widows “ really hit home for me. I lost my husband a year ago. Her insight is incredible.
Gosh, there is so much good stuff to read here -- and my to-be-read list is already starting to topple! Thanks for your great work
Lovely to see Substack celebrating its writers constantly. Found some great things here again!
I’ve really been enjoying Katherine Ormerod’s Substack - Every Shade of Grey recently :)

I have added Seymour Hersh to my must-read on Substak and am grateful that he is hosted on your platform!
Really happy Substack has taken up my suggestion to include a "FILM" section. Hoping one of my articles is chosen for curation at some point.
And this one from Laura Pashby changed something in me - https://open.substack.com/pub/laurapashby/p/mother-writer?r=506nf&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
A short story about a Rothko and an album cover. https://open.substack.com/pub/ofsoundandfury/p/mark-rothko-and-the-album-iii?r=hcm2e&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Congrats to all the new writers featured on the stack. Enjoy the ride!

Loved Lavery’s piece on estrangement
When we stink of Zen, we can light a little incense.
And remember there’s always something new to learn. And that “learning means becoming worse“. Which, sometimes, means we might stink ;)

The one on parental estrangement struck a chord. I've had to put up with mine though I would like to estrange them.
