Receipt from the Bookshop

By Katie Clapham is Terrible

My weekly post - Receipt from the Bookshop - is written in real time from my award-winning independent bookshop in St. Annes-on-Sea, UK. Paid subscribers also get an additional weekly essay/book review and access to my book club.

I’m always wanging on about Katie’s newsletter, but it’s just the absolute smartest and funniest writing about books and reading (and sometimes TV and Keanu Reeves).

A Year In Music with Jude Rogers - plus Stop, Look, Listen

By Stop

A year of songs and seasonal, personal reflections – plus occasional pop culture recommendations by author/UK arts and culture journalist Jude Rogers.

Super smart writing about music and more.

kate, lately

By kate clayborn

I love Kate Clayborn's novels and her Substack is just as funny and charming (but without the sex) (so far).

Creative Confidence Clinic

By Daisy Buchanan

A community for writers at every stage of their journey

Daisy is so wise, funny and reassuring. I know it's hackneyed to say 'like a pep talk from your smartest and kindest friend' but I'm going to say it anyway. Sorry.

Footnotes and Tangents

By Simon Haisell

A community for curious and creative readers. Slow book groups reading Leo Tolstoy and Hilary Mantel. Fiction by Simon Haisell.

I'm taking part in the War & Peace slow readalong and in awe of the care and effort Simon's put into it. One of the absolute best Substacks.

Dear Writer

By Lani Diane Rich

Dear Writer is a love letter to writers, about writing, from a writer who is trying to mend her broken relationship with writing.

Lani is one of the smartest writers I know. Pretty much every one of her posts gives me at least one a-ha! moment.

The Sophist

Wisdom for idiots

I love Sophie's writing so much. Every post makes me laugh and some of them have made me cry. (In a cool way.)
