I love these roundups because they are such a rich glimpse into the world of Substack! Love exploring new formats, topics, and stories that I’ve never thought about or had forgotten about (like Caroline Calloway, wow).
Humbly submitting my own curatorial newsletter to the masses, Curious About Everything, which rounds up the best of the web each month. Here's last month's missive: https://jodiettenberg.substack.com/p/twenty-eight
Such great posts here to be dug into. Reminds me of why curatorial newsletters are so good. I’m inspired to start a curated series too, one dedicated to Indian food!
The Scammer Caroline Calloway one sounds fascinating. “And We Were Like” is the perfect Gen-Z title for a book, and it’s sort of perfect that she didn’t even write it because it seems most young people today write little other than on social media, and read even less. I totally do relate to and understand/feel empathy for the drug addiction. I’m 13 years sober myself. With dozens of traditionally published stories in lit mags, I never could get any of my 12 completed novels taken by agents...though I got close. Being a WSM (White Straight Male) in the second decade of the 21st century frankly doesn’t help. (Sorry: unpopular non-Woke but realistic statement.)
I write about all of this--agents, book editing, writing, AA, addiction, fiction, memoir and more--on my Substack, **Sincere American Writing.***
Also, the Tuesday edition of my newsletter is always a curated roundup of articles and listicles related to the teen drama television genre and the writers, producers and actors involved in it. Currently featuring a lot of WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike updates.
If you find many Substacks predictably woke - especially those devoted to the arts - permit me to suggest my own Write Dangerously, which starts from the premise that 'Woke art is rubbish.' https://writedangerously.substack.com I think I can claim that it's provocative and subversive.
