Wow it was a wonderful surprise to wake up this morning and see that my post was highlighted here next so much incredible writing! Thanks so much to Heather Marie and Teagan for recommending it and to Substack for including it in this wrap up!
I love these weekly roundups of writers from around Substack for the same reason I love Substack itself: the diversity of ideas, topics, and writers here is absolutely astounding. Everytime I go to the explore page it's like entering a colorful forest with thousands of brand new trees, animals, and birds that I have never before seen in my life, drawn and sculpted with every type of material: clay, crayon, and typewriter. Whenever I stop to focus on any single bird or tree I discover an entirely new universe in itself. Keep up the great work everyone and it's one of my bucket list items to make it onto "substack reads" weekly edition.
Hannah writes eloquently and with humor about the challenges of finding new friends in your 30's. She blends her personal perspective and professional insights on the subject to great success. Her clear-eyed self reflections are at once poignant and hilarious. I always look forward to the next chapter as she navigates these treacherous waterways!
I was happy to see some relatively new newsletters on the recommendation list this week! I’ve recently gotten into some Newsletters that are already quite popular, but one that I’d love to see reach more people is The Writing Grove. Lloyd does a lot for people interested in writing communities. Lloyd’s always posting interesting material about language, literature, migration and identity from a wordly expat POV. https://thewritinggrove.substack.com/about
On a different note, it was fun to see a comic featured here. I love this comic, too: https://sadbook.substack.com/ and would enjoy maybe even a themed "Substack Reads" that features smaller comics. I'm also in search of inspiring Business reads, if anyone has recommendations.

Thank you for featuring my post! 🥳
I hope everyone enjoys the reminiscence.
And the undigested hot dogs.
So much great stuff this week! Thanks, Substack.
Also--is it me, or do other people get really excited when they see Substacks they already read on this list?!

This is a great tool to support new writers and publications. Thanks Substack.
I am also enjoying all the latest updates, and looking forward to more.
What would be super great if there is a ‘recommendation’ section where we can see notes from other writers to discover more.
Thanks so much for mentioning 'The Write to Poetry' in your "Substackers in the Press" section! :)
I'd like to recommend https://hannahjoinsaclub.substack.com/p/kill-shame-with-fire

So happy you featured Jason. He’s such a talented artist. And that essay by Sean seems really interesting. Can’t wait to dig in!
Oh my
God. That drawing of the casserole dish (is that what it’s called? Someone help me out here lol) brought back so many memories!!!
Spite fences !!! 😱
Great selection of Stacks, esp. the new and smaller ones. Well done and congratulations!

A very big thanks for mentioning my article at JaneFriedman.com, in your press section here!
That's a fun section to include at the end of these, since it helps create a sense of where Substackers otherwise play. :)
Great roundup!
I recommend my own tribute to the late, great middleweight Martin Amis. https://barneysrubble.substack.com/p/martin-amis-alive-and-well-and-living
