Wow. Fiction writers are setting the pace and raising the bar. Philosophy writers are {sigh} non-existent. And to the degree we might be, we’re not coordinated. Fiction writers! An inspiration for the rest of us.

Heyy, maybe the philosophers could finally assemble and do something similar! 😁 Thanks for reading, Walter!

As a fellow peddler of literary entertainment, I am astounded to find so many creatives out here and writing like mad. Great to see.

Excellent first issue! Well done, Sarah! And thank you for the Shout Out. I appreciate your efforts to help and promote writers, especially those of us who are new to Substack. I'm sure this is going to be a hit with writers and readers alike.

Thanks. I love writing. Really getting scared that the lack of film work is going to push me away into a dreaded "real job" ( whatever that is ) and I won't be able to publish regularly.

It's finally here! Liked reading it, and hope the right people look at my bit in the connection corner. Felt like I was in touch with the fiction community on Substack but there was more stuff I didn't know than I expected. Going to read Mycelial now, and maybe pick up The Jaguar and Cacao Tree.
