This week, we’re taking a break from Office Hours for the October edition of our monthly Shoutout Thread.
We host Shoutout Threads because we know writers want more ways to discover great writing on Substack, and we’re always looking to celebrate writers who are finding a home here. This thread is a chance for us to get to know one another, and to share what we’ve been reading and inspired by recently on Substack.
How to participate
Leave a commentbelow and give a shoutout to another writer or Substack you’re enjoying. Be sure to share the link to the publication of the writer you admire and share a specific reason why you love their work. Bonus: share a favorite post by the writer.
Get to know fellow writers. It’s beneficial to know other writers—both for collaboration and for inspiration. Peruse the thread and get to know who’s here.
We’ll go first with a shoutout to the writers who started on Substack in the past month! Here’s a few we noticed:
Dr. Julie Gurner, a doctor of psychology who writes Ultra Successful spotlighting stories of successful people and how they tackled challenges.
Andy Adams launched FlakPhoto Digest, a mix of photography news, online ephemera, and recommended reading.
Eddie Kimber’s The Boy Who Bakes is filling up with tasty treats and telling the truth behind The Great British Bake Off series.
So many interesting publications to explore! Especially new ones. Welcome to all the new writers who joined us today. We hope you bumped into someone you are excited to connect with.
Our team is signing off for today but we will be back next week for Office Hours to help answer your questions about getting started, growing and going paid on Substack. Save it to your calendar: https://lu.ma/office-hours
I'm a maniac for all things related to the creative process. That's why I've been so excited to discover Jillian Hess's Noted. https://jillianhess.substack.com/ -- She investigates how people's note-taking, journaling, and the like, shapes their workcraft. Her latest on Walter Benjamin, an intellectual who fled the Nazis, is sublime and moving.
Hi! I’ve been here for about two months, but this is the first time I’ve worked up the courage to say hello. After struggling with self-injury for more than a decade, I now write out of that experience to remind you you’re more than your own worst moments, whatever they may be. I’m looking forward to connecting with other writers here! You can find me at https://brittanytinsley.substack.com.
I want to double-echo the sentiment expressed elsewhere: Jillian Hess's Noted is absolute quality and I'm loving it: https://jillianhess.substack.com/
Finally, want to recognize Thomas J. Bevan and my other colleagues from the Soaring Twenties Social Club, the weekly Omnibus and monthly Symposiums are not to be missed: https://soaringtwenties.substack.com/
Have any of you ever subscribed to a 'stack then unsubscribed after a couple of posts thinking, "eh...not sure this is my thing" then rediscovered it and subscribed again? I may have done that with a 'stack I'm really digging. Shoutout to Rebecca Holden over at Dear Reader, I'm lost. I especially loved her post this week on something all of us writers go through--having our writing expectations derailed, which isn't a bad thing! Read more:
It's shout out time!! I just took a moment to read through the replies and I just want to give a HUGE shout out to all the new folks, especially those who just started their 'Stack today! Welcome, welcome, welcome, and I hope you find a community here!! Write for you, not for numbers, and press on even when you feel you can't. We're cheering you on! 🌿
Shout to Neal Bascombe of https://www.workcraftlife.com/ not only for his fantastic interviews, but for having nominated us for Substack Reader Recommendations. And a shoutout to Substack for having Reader Recommendations in the first place as it brought us a bunch of new subscribers!
I’m brand new here, I write horror fiction and hoping to build an audience of beta readers for my first anthology book and full length novel. Haven’t got much of an established audience anywhere else but still looking forward to building a community on here.
Hello folks. I made a local news outlet in Substack as I wanted to do more reporting in my community, and, as I have 7 different jobs atm, my dream is to get The Wausau Sentinel successful enough I can go back to just two or three. My apologies if this is a silly introduction. If you know anyone in Wisconsin, tell them about it! :)
1. For great book and drink recommendations (especially if you like mysteries and whisky), check out the fantastic Blood & Whisky by Neal Thompson! I've already discovered two great books from this Substack.
2. For a wonderful writing craft community with lots of interesting stories to boot, check out Work/Craft/Life by Neal Bascomb. Lots of great writing and writing advice here.
3. For something completely different, original, hilarious, heartfelt, and vulnerable check out Both Are True by Alex Dobrenko. These essays are always funny, always honest, and they always hit just right.
Hi—I love being here on Substack. I write about addiction and recovery and host the podcast “Breakfast with an Alcoholic.” The best thing about Substack is/are the other writers and here are some I always love reading:
Hello all! I'm bravely jumping in here today to shout out the news that I FINALLY launched my newsletter. Bingeworthy aims to connect Podcast Lovers with Podcast Makers. I have 2 big goals:
First, to celebrate the art of narrative podcast storytelling and help make it a *thing*
Finally, shoutout to Dirtbags Through the Ages by Allison Epstein! Learn about the shittiest people ever in the funniest way imaginable. See: https://rapscallison.substack.com/p/napoleon
Shout-outs to four of my favourites on my ever-growing list of Stacks I follow:
Mark Dykeman writes 'How About This' - https://howaboutthis.substack.com/ - a one-stop goldmine for everything interesting. Weekly interviews and insights into Atlantic Canada life. Weekly links post to introduce you to the Substacks you’ve been wanting to find but didn’t know you did. And all sorts in between, including planning, productivity and everything you ever wanted to know about notebooks. His recent post about the latter was smashing: https://howaboutthis.substack.com/p/creative-realizer-a-notebook-harvest
Helen Redfern writes 'The Red Fern’ - https://helenredfern.substack.com/ - if you’re looking for a bit of oomph to kick-start (or maintain!) your fabulous creativity and writing practice you certainly can’t go wrong here.
Holly Rabalais writes 'Release and Gather' - https://hollyrabalais.substack.com/ - delightful and insightful writing about people, life and the challenges that come our way. Poignant, thought-provoking and with lots of laughs.
Julie B. Hughes writes ‘Run to Write’ - https://juliebhughes.substack.com/ - if you’re looking for a brief moment of reflection every day you’ll love her poems. Regular (free!) writing group sessions on Zoom. Loves writing and writers.
2. Mark Dykeman’s How About This. My favorite read is his Creative Realizer piece on old notebooks. I have at least 10 half filled books that get thrown around. I connect with this realization.
Oleg over at Fictitious is recording his Ray Bradbury challenge of 1 poem, 1 story, and 1 essay each day for 1000 days, and noting down his progress. It is incredibly cool, and introduces me to SO MUCH I didn't think I was interested in. Check this post out: https://fictitious.substack.com/p/ray-bradbury-challenge-213000
I'd like to thank Parker Molloy for inviting me to take part in our debate about cancel culture and free speech, which ran on our respective newsletters over the past several weeks.
Don't mind me-- I'm just taking notes on whom to follow and possibly invite for guest posts/interview collabs for What's Curation? I hit 200 subs milestone today, so feeling extra happy.
Music writers of Substack stick together, so I recommend Kevin Alexander and his On Repeat newsletter https://thekevinalexander.substack.com. You can't miss out if you're a fan of late 80s and early 90s deep cuts. Kevin is also fantastic at featuring new indie artists and his playlists are on point!
Today I want to bring focus to 3 writers who also share a passion for how food impacts our daily life:
FutureFood by Jenny Splitter, who’s doing an excellent job of looking at the climate impact of producing our food. Find her newsletter here: https://futurefeed.substack.com/
Nico Vera’s La Yapa newsletter explores Peruvian cuisine from a vegan perspective…and I think we need many more writers who explore food culture through a vegan lens. Find his newsletter here: https://piscotrail.substack.com/
Thin Ink, who writes about food and climate…focusing on both problems and solutions. Her newsletter can be found here: https://news.thin-ink.net/
I loved Holly's latest post about a weekend trip with her son, who was on leave from residential treatment program. For those of us who parent older teens and young adults, the stakes feel higher than ever. I appreciate her sharing slices of the messier side of life and parenting.
Hey, all. I’m pitching myself! Heart and humor AKA This Being Human Thing. As a result, I’ve been picked up by my local newspaper, publishing twice monthly columns straight from my Substack. https://thisbeinghumanthing.substack.com
I started my newsletter here six months ago to write about the writing lifestyle. I estimate I’ve written about 50,000 words since then and my subscriber count has been growing steadily. I had 22 new subs yesterday which was pretty nuts. I write every day on Medium about politics and climate issues so my newsletter offers me an outlet for other stuff. I’ve been able to leverage my Medium followers into subscriber growth here which has really helped. So, if you’re new to this, hang in there and identify a niche to see growth. It can happen!
A big welcome to all the new writers here. This is one of the best platforms for writing and networking with fellow writers/readers. I wish you all the best.
Neal Bascomb, in his “Work Craft Life” newsletter, has a wonderful, touching profile of his local UPS man—which he agreed to let me excerpt in a future issue of my own newsletter: https://www.workcraftlife.com/p/vince?r=sqrxn&utm_medium=ios
Hello, 👋 I'm fairly new here and really enjoying discovering new people to read! Just opened lots of new tabs from the recommendations below. I write musings/thoughts on overcoming fear and stepping out of your comfort zone (something I am trying to do) I've been wanting to write for years and finally done it!
I’m new to substack as well. I a recovering Christian fundamentalist working on a book about my experiences. Substack is a way for me to process ideas and have a regular writing schedule. Thanks for reading!
Hey everyone: I’m loving this community. For the first time I feel like I can write honestly and without fear of censorship or rejection. I’m currently publishing my ‘fictional memoir’ about living in East Harlem NYC during Covid. Please check it out!
Hello Substack! I am new and very much enjoying my time here. I have just started my newsletter, https://fromthekitchentable.substack.com. I joined because so many other writers I love were already here and I guess I sort of had FOMO?
Even if it wasn’t his birthday tomorrow I would be shouting out Myq Kaplan’s hilarious newsletter that’s full of jokes feeling zen love life and yes laugh
Myq is one of the kindest ppl on Substack and welcomed me with such kindness via his comments on my writing I owe him a lot and I promise I will pay him back once things really get moving for me (Myq this is re the 2k loan I need more time)
I’m also looking for Substack that are philosophical, or that are crafted like journal entries. I like to learn new things and be shown different perspectives on life. I’m also very spiritual and would like to follow more Substacks like that if there are any (FYI i consider religion and spirituality 2 different things). If you have a Substack like this or know of any, let me know!
I'd like to shout out the Tower of Adam https://towerofadam.substack.com/. Tower of Adam is a newsletter I discovered over the summer and he writes excellent scriptural exegesis interesting for any Christians or Catholics out there who are interested in a deep dive into scripture. He presents everything in a very approachable format. He's doing a discussion on the Wedding of Cana now but he went through the book of Job earlier and that is one of my favorites. One of my favorite subscriptions recently!
Also, smaller shout out because everyone knows her already, SEReids "Wildroot Parables" https://sereid.substack.com/. She's been on a roll recently and her article today about "The Vespers Bell" is excellent. She's here every week to give a positive message but if you have read her positive vibes but haven't checked out her newsletter, you're missing out!
Brand new! I moved to the States in May of this year and fell in love with hiking. I started “The Bougie Hiker” to share honest perspectives and offbeat advice on hiking as a solo female. (Think tips on choosing the best lipstick for the trail!)
Hey guys I'm writing Away Messages from the Healingvrse, the internet of the sick and healing, as I recover from chronic pain post Covid. So many people have been forced on sabbatical and here's what they go through! https://awaymessage.substack.com?r=iunw&utm_medium=ios
Thanks for the opportunity! I've actually started a new Substack to support a Spotify podcast I've been doing. It's called Music at the Movies, and it's for film score and soundtrack geeks like me.
Just so much good energy here. Full of recommendations and inspiration for artists. The Substack is a really wonderful companion for anybody embarked on a creative path. Check it out!
Who's new here? We're curious to know: what prompted you to start a Substack and what do you plan to write about?
So many interesting publications to explore! Especially new ones. Welcome to all the new writers who joined us today. We hope you bumped into someone you are excited to connect with.
Our team is signing off for today but we will be back next week for Office Hours to help answer your questions about getting started, growing and going paid on Substack. Save it to your calendar: https://lu.ma/office-hours
Until the, happy reading!

Hello, 👋 I'm fairly new here and really enjoying discovering new people to read! Just opened lots of new tabs from the recommendations below. I write musings/thoughts on overcoming fear and stepping out of your comfort zone (something I am trying to do) I've been wanting to write for years and finally done it!
I love reading Emma Gannon's Substack, her most recent Q&A post on writing is brilliant: https://thehyphen.substack.com/p/your-questions-on-writing-answered

Great substack about moral philosophy.
I’m new to substack as well. I a recovering Christian fundamentalist working on a book about my experiences. Substack is a way for me to process ideas and have a regular writing schedule. Thanks for reading!
I began my substack as a way of healing after the death of my husband and to share the lessons I learned with others .
