Shannan, thanks for this wonderful round up. I look forward to exploring the links you shared. Simon Haisell brought me to Substack a couple of years ago from IG and I have never looked back. He is a good friend and the OG of all things slow read. Thank you also for linking to my publication and sharing Esha's essay. Having the opportunity to share my love for life and literature with other readers has been the best part of this project. Thanks again and all the best, Matthew

This is such a sharp and generous roundup Shannan, thnak you. As a human-rights lawyer trying to moonlight as a writer (a chaotic crossover, I know), I felt very seen by your thoughts on risk, voice, and the plague of AI-gen’d Notes. I’m still building my little corner of Substack, trying to keep it exploratory and slightly unhinged hopefully in all the right ways. If you ever stumble into my work and feel like dropping a line, I’d be thrilled. Sol

I think I've been following you on here for a while but just realized I wasn't subscribed yet. Fixed that now.

My most-read this year was a post about how I accidentally posted rage bait and went viral and what I learned from the experience: https://talkaboutit.substack.com/p/i-accidentally-went-viral-and-got

Looking forward to reading that piece about how Miyazaki builds stories.
