This week we are taking a break from Office Hours as usual for our monthly Shoutout Thread.
We host Shoutout Threads because know writers want more ways to discover great writing on Substack. And we’re always looking to celebrate writers who are finding a home on Substack. This thread is a chance for all of us to share what we’ve been reading and inspired by recently.
How to join the Shoutout Thread 📢
Introduce yourself. Tell us what you write about on Substack. No need to include your URL. When you hover over a writer’s name, you’ll see a new profile preview that includes both a link to their publication, and a list of the Substacks they are reading.
Shoutout a Substack writer you recommend reading. Tell us the URL of a writer you admire and why. Bonus: point us to a remarkable piece of their writing we should check out first.
Our team will be in the thread today from 9 am - 10 am PDT / 12 pm - 1 pm EDT in discovery and celebration mode with you all.
We'll start! We're always excited to see when writers shoutout other writers in their own Substacks. Alicia Kennedy writes a weekly publication on issues in food, from politics and climate change to culture and labor. Recently she shared 18 food and beverage newsletters she always opens.
Hi everyone! I'm Mike and I use GIFs to review books. Books on GIF comes out every two weeks and it features a diverse range of books (fiction, nonfiction, bestsellers, classics and graphic novels) and authors.
I started the newsletter because I was frustrated by the sameness in book criticism: everywhere you looked, from legacy publications to social media, you saw the same books, the same authors and the same style of discussion. I wanted to try something different, highlight the popular as well as the obscure, and maybe bring some fun and fresh air to the book space. I try to emphasize the joy of reading and finding books that have personal meaning over whether a book is 'good' or 'bad.'
Haaa, Mike, I wrote my post before I even saw this! Thanks as always for the boost, and also for pitching in to further troll the public with that horrendous brooch.
I am so glad to find you. Love books. Love innovative ways to talk about them. I'm looking forward to sharing your work with my subscribers who also love books.
I'm Jackie and I write a weekly newsletter about story and storytelling. I'm working up an article for next week on serial storytelling past, present, and future on my newsletter Story Cauldron. I try to make each week's newsletter appeal to both writers and readers, and I think this will be a good one (plus I am sharing the works of a few fellow Substackers!). I also have my own serial fiction called "The Favor Faeries" over on my paid newsletter.
A couple of things I've really enjoyed this week on Substack include "The Master's Trap," a 3-part series about the pitfalls and scammy nature of graduate study over at Culture Study, https://annehelen.substack.com/p/the-masters-trap , and "Conspiracy," a serial novel about a blue-skinned alien crash-landing on earth at Kevin's Creative Corner, https://kevinmoran.substack.com/s/conspiracy
(I have serialised fiction & nonfiction plans in my docket, just as soon as I find out what a docket is - and I've been inspired by the serialised work of the "Write. Publish. Repeat." guys at Sterling & Stone for a while now. So I look forward to seeing what you have to say on the topic!)
Oh yeah, I know Sean and Johnny from there. Did a bunch of Smarter Artist Summits with them and they came to a meet up I hosted once. They can sometimes be a bit much, but they do know the industry.
Hah, yes - I listen to their podcast and they are very proud of being described as "bloke-ish". :) But yeah, they know their stuff, and I really admire their commitment to it.
I write So Relatable, which is about trying to live a creative life and pursue your art even when it feels like the world is conspiring against you! Also: snacks.
I've been following her blog for a while, and am excited to see how she uses the Substack platform to talk about art, productivity, and freelance writing.
Hi! I write a newsletter a couple times a month -- more or less! -- about "what I'm thinking about" -- which seems to usually be about mortality, grief, hope, making meaning, etc. (the gamut of life emotions). They're pretty personal, and quite different from my other newsletter on Substack, Good Trouble For Kids, which stems out of a project a girlfriend and I did of helping families build racially conscious libraries. I was drawn to Substack because of Heather Cox Richardson's phenomenal newsletter (beats reading the newspaper or listening to the news) and I love Alison Roman's newsletter.
My name is Davina and I am a writer for children and adults. I write Writersphere (https://writersphere.substack.com/) which sheds light on the writer's journey through publishing. I offer tips and tricks into writing and getting published. I am currently enjoying Weirdy Wordy (https://weirdywordy.substack.com/) a fictional weekly newspaper for a fictional town. Perfect for the fans of the Onion and Welcome to the Nightvale.
Hello! I write a bi-weekly newsletter, Borscht for Breakfast, about food and culture which includes recipes. I'm just getting started and looking for community.
Hi! I write a weekly food and culture newsletter that comes out Tuesday afternoons. I link to recipes, food news, essays about food. I also include craft beer and cocktail news. I also curate a food and cookbook list on Bookshop. https://bookshop.org/lists/nichelle-newsletter-books-on-food
Hi there! I'm Sarah, and I write a weekly newsletter about children's books, raising readers, and how to build a culture of reading in your home. I've been writing it since May 2020 and it has not only kept me sane during the pandemic but been a source of tremendous fun.
I'm such a fan of Time Travel Kitchen it's almost embarrassing, but Jolene inspires this kind of devotion, trust me: https://timetravelkitchen.substack.com/
Hello everyone! Love the idea behind these threads!
My name is Barry and I write a newsletter called Proximities. Every day I briefly summarize three non-Western news stories and provide links should you want to find out some more. I do it seven days a week and it's free of charge. I'm a journalist and a former foreign correspondent and the idea came from a sense of frustration I feel that most "international" news channels are dominated by Western news even when there are hugely important things happening elsewhere.
My recommendation is probably of most interest to people based in the UK. Conquest of the Useless by Mic Wright is a newsletter about the British media. The critiques are brilliantly written and the quality he delivers every morning without fail amazes me. https://brokenbottleboy.substack.com/
Hi: I write 1,500 word essays two or three times a week about current pop music, and rock music criticism as memoir: For more than 50 years, I've been fortunate to never have to do anything else for a living. Tuesday's post was record reviews about the magnificent new music of Korean-American Andrew Choi, who performs as St. Lenox, as well as the Wallflowers, and the Umbrellas. Tomorrow's will go back to my first job after college at CBS Records, one aspect of which I already wrote about in a cross-Substack/response to the writer Ted Gioia about "The Worst Day in Jazz History," which Ted graciously acknowledged on Twitter. My avatar/photo is a back cover headline from a cover story I did for the Village Voice in 1974, headlined "Led Zep Zaps Kidz." On the front cover of that issue is a story Lucian Truscott IV did about uncorrupt NYC cop Frank Serpico, played by Al Pacino in the movie of that name, though in those days I looked more like Pacino than Lucian did. I subscribe to Lucian's newsletter. He's peerless on military and political issues. We're both still at the top of our games. https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/stark-raving-mad
Hi, I'm a philosophy major in Houston, Texas who writes about the relationship between climate change and political philosophy. My work includes investigative journalism, dispatches from my climate activism, and the research I produce in academia. I'm currently writing a book review on the history of freedom (a concept frequently invoked in debates about climate action) over the span of 3 posts.
One of my favorite Substack blogs is The Phoenix, a newsletter which functions as a forum for conversations surrounding climate change.
Hello friends! I have a newsletter called Get Busy Living. I'm looking for the answer to "What is a good life?" That's what I'm exploring right now as I'm at a point in my life where I'm looking for change and I share my journey. Please subscribe and say hello. Also the name of the newsletter comes from one of my favorite movies of all time The Shawshank Redemption.
Another Substack I recommend is https://mysweetdumbbrain.substack.com . Her tagline is "A newsletter about facing life’s hardships, all while being kind to yourself". I love the way she tells her personal stories through her voice, tone, and style.
I love the concept of being inspired by a line from a movie. In fact, I collect these inspirational messages on my blog: https://moviewise.wordpress.com If you would like to write more about what The Shawshank Redemption means to you, I've recently added a "Guest Posts" section to my moviewise newsletter: https://moviewise.substack.com Cheers!
Hi Friends! I'm Ashley and I'm writing words about the world we can't see, the esoteric and the weird. I get really nerdy about tarot, astrology and magick. If you are curious about the occult, come take a peek! https://www.devilsdispatch.com
One of my latests posts deals with the dichotomy between the map and the territory when navigating our reality. Here is a quote about it from Robert Anton Wilson:
All experience is a muddle, until we make a model to explain it. The model can clarify the muddles, but the model is never the muddle itself. "The map is not the territory"; the menu does not taste like the meal.
Fellow Tarot nerd and esotericist here. Didn’t need more than a few sentences to see that your writing is RIGHT up my alley Ashley! Looking forward to digging in more!!
Hi y'all! I'm Caitlin, and I write about pop culture and creativity at PopPoetry. My latest post deals with the lothario poet of the Friends episode with the "empty vase" and considers the "trick" of metaphor. Love to have you check it out and subscribe if you dig! I write explainers, book reviews, and creative prompts weekly and conduct author interviews, too.
I've been loving Neko Case's Entering the Lung (https://nekocase.substack.com/), which is a collection of woozy, eco-centered meditation on life, nature, and the creative spark.
Thanks for reading! I'm so happy to be part of this community :)
Hi, my name is Rohini. I am a literary translator and also write for children. My substack is The Story Birds, which I write with Shaiontoni Bose, a dear friend and a fellow writer. Each week we bring our readers a story, which could be original fiction, or traditional tales retold, or even tales specially collected for The Story Birds. We also share our research sources and recommend further reading for those who are interested. Additionally, through our stories, we look at process, the art and craft, of story-telling, story-writing. We also bring original art work and illustrations to our readers. We hope to make this a multi-media, multilingual newsletter in the not too distant future.
I read The Parallel Campaign regularly. It is an extremely well-researched and lucidly written newsletter that seeks to give as objective a view of history as possible, particularly in the context of the current political climate in India. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in the subject.
Hi there! My name is Juliet and I write The Rafters which is a somewhat neglected fiction and ramblings Substack. I talk a lot about the unanswerable and modern culture and why things are the way they are.

Hey Katie! Yes! With the exception of the sign up screen, I've been to all these spots. Mostly around New England, some from a cross country trip I took last summer.
The Shoutout Thread has become a favorite part of our month! Thank you for sharing more about what you write and read on Substack!
We'll see you next week at Office Hours and next month at the shoutout thread.
Happy writing and reading!
Katie + Bailey
This was really helpful! Found so many great new subs. Thanks!
Yeah, me too! Though my list of subscriptions is starting to become a bit... unwieldy. So much to read, so little time!
Good for you!
🙌♥️✌️
Yeahhhhhhhhh
shoutout to nobody reads poetry and patti smith! :)

A newsletter I just subscribed to today is: https://blgtylr.substack.com. Really excited to read it.
A newsletter that I always open immediately is Dearest. It’s so good! Just look at the crazy baby-face brooch in this edition! https://dearest.substack.com/p/stupidly-huge-diamonds-horrible-baby
Haaa, Mike, I wrote my post before I even saw this! Thanks as always for the boost, and also for pitching in to further troll the public with that horrendous brooch.
Monica! If I can't unsee that brooch, than neither will anyone else!
I'm obsessed with Dearest (and your newsletter.)
Thanks! I am in awe of your newsletter and how you get to so many books and interview so many interesting people! It’s so good!
Lurve it, Mike!
Thanks, Jean! I’m glad you like it!
I am so glad to find you. Love books. Love innovative ways to talk about them. I'm looking forward to sharing your work with my subscribers who also love books.
That’s wonderful, Elizabeth! Thanks so much. I hope you (and they) enjoy it!
What a unique idea Mike!
Thanks, Rufat!! Appreciate it.
Such a great idea! Subscribed!
Thanks, Thor! I hope you enjoy it.
I *love* this idea.
Thanks, Barry!
Hi Books on GIF! Great to have you here!
Thanks, Bailey!!

As someone frustrated by the state of the publishing industry who would also love serial novels, I'm going to have to give this a follow!
https://discord.gg/UWQcEqNF - you should check out Elle Griffin's Substack Discord channel, lots of us fiction writers in there
Oooo I love to hear about these serial novels
I hope you'll check it out!
Fabulous. I'm in. Signing up in a moment.
(I have serialised fiction & nonfiction plans in my docket, just as soon as I find out what a docket is - and I've been inspired by the serialised work of the "Write. Publish. Repeat." guys at Sterling & Stone for a while now. So I look forward to seeing what you have to say on the topic!)
Oh yeah, I know Sean and Johnny from there. Did a bunch of Smarter Artist Summits with them and they came to a meet up I hosted once. They can sometimes be a bit much, but they do know the industry.
Hah, yes - I listen to their podcast and they are very proud of being described as "bloke-ish". :) But yeah, they know their stuff, and I really admire their commitment to it.
I love these threads!
I write So Relatable, which is about trying to live a creative life and pursue your art even when it feels like the world is conspiring against you! Also: snacks.
The most recent Substack I'm excited about is Showing My Work by Nicole Dieker: https://nicoledieker.substack.com/
I've been following her blog for a while, and am excited to see how she uses the Substack platform to talk about art, productivity, and freelance writing.
You had me at creative life!
You also had me at creative life. I'll have to check it out!
Your post images are making me hungry now! :)
I live to eat! :)
I'm the same!
Sounds wonderful!

Hi, my name is Rohini. I am a literary translator and also write for children. My substack is The Story Birds, which I write with Shaiontoni Bose, a dear friend and a fellow writer. Each week we bring our readers a story, which could be original fiction, or traditional tales retold, or even tales specially collected for The Story Birds. We also share our research sources and recommend further reading for those who are interested. Additionally, through our stories, we look at process, the art and craft, of story-telling, story-writing. We also bring original art work and illustrations to our readers. We hope to make this a multi-media, multilingual newsletter in the not too distant future.
I read The Parallel Campaign regularly. It is an extremely well-researched and lucidly written newsletter that seeks to give as objective a view of history as possible, particularly in the context of the current political climate in India. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in the subject.
Hi Rohini! I write a book recommendation newsletter and feature Q&As with bookish people. Any interest in partnering?
I already subscribe to your newsletter and enjoy it.
Yes! I'd love to! Let's connect?
This is where I'd love a DM feature. Just subscribed to your newsletter. I'll respond to it.
Just subscribed to your newsletter too! It is VERY interesting!
I shall look out for your email.
And yes, I second the DM feature!
Sounds beautiful! I will check this out!
Nice, I do original art work as well, super dope!
That's lovely! My fellow Story Birder, Shaiontoni, is the artist. :)
Hi there! My name is Juliet and I write The Rafters which is a somewhat neglected fiction and ramblings Substack. I talk a lot about the unanswerable and modern culture and why things are the way they are.
One of my absolute favorite Substacks I've been subscribed to is Culture Study by Anne Hellen Petersen one of my absolute favorite reads on Substack. https://annehelen.substack.com/
Hey Juliet, the photos on your Substack are beautiful. Are they of places close to you?
Hey Katie! Yes! With the exception of the sign up screen, I've been to all these spots. Mostly around New England, some from a cross country trip I took last summer.
YES! Culture Study is so good.
Subscribed, and I agree, the pictures are beautiful. I hope to visit the New England area in the next few years.
Hi Everyone! I want to share 5 things that helped me increase my subscribers this week for my two newsletters:
http://www.oddjobsnews.com/welcome
http://www.thefirstyearsofmarriage.com/welcome
1. Posting about topics that are trending / newsworthy: I incorporated the Olympics into the newsletter a lot and people loved that.
2. Hosted giveaways with Kingsum.com (free to use) and that brought in a lot of new subs
3. Shared a promo reel of the newsletter on my Instagram (www.instagram.com/jenglantz)
4.Printed a t-shrit with my newsletter name on it to wear around town
5. Increased my frequencies to 5x a week
What about you?
Thanks for sharing your learnings, Jen.
Dope!
#4 is epic
Thank you, Ms. Glantz! Marvelous! Congratulations!
Good morning! I write about eating disorders and how to navigate exercise addiction, pregnancy, being an athlete, and all that encompasses.
