Leigh Stein is smart, witty, honest, bold, and she demystifies the Internet for writers. I've admired her since the days of Bindercon. Her weekly newsletter is always brief, focused, and full of useful information or thought-provoking questions..
I always wonder about books I may have missed. Cassie P. wants you to read the best books you've never heard of whether they are just released or got lost in the shuffle and noise around the books everyone hears about all the time. I love this.
I'm on a lifelong journey to learn Italian and I love stories and great movies. Subscribing gets me at least one movie a month I would have missed otherwise as well as a wealth of info and insights from Cheri, whose enthusiasm for Italian cinema is infectious.
Robyn Ryle thinks too much about the things I'm thinking about all the time, then she writes about them and makes me see them totally differently. Books. Writing. Thoughts. So many thoughts.
This recently relaunched newsletter is new to me but the author's goals and voice grabbed me: she writes about subjects that can be but should not be controversial in the world of money, work, literature, and pop culture. I'm looking forward to reading more.
I love Italian movies -- Italian stories told in all ways -- and I love this newsletter. I have had so much fun watching movies I would never have known about if not for Cheri who not only tells us about the movies, she makes it easy for us to find and watch them.
With courage and love. This is how I want and need to face the threats that loom. I love the premise of this newsletter.
A great way to practice reading in Italian (English translation included) and keep up with the news and cultural happenings in a place I love.
It doesn't matter if Elizabeth is writing from anger, joy, pain, or just because she wants to play with words -- her small essays reveal a way of looking at the world and language that get me every time.
Lyle McKeaney is a dad to Em, a little girl with cerebral palsy who challenges him daily to be more than he sometimes feels he can be. He's a searcher. He's a writer. He is often funny. Always on target. He's got plans. Check him out.
I love the stories, the curiosity, and the unexpected directions Courtney takes in her writing. Most of all I admire her ability to pick a moment, hold it up to the light and capture all the facets often in a single, breathtaking sentence.
Children need good books and the adults in their lives need them too. Sarah Miller understands this and even those of us without young ones to read with can appreciate her reviews and insights.
I love to see how "professional book person" and Book Riot reviewer and writer Ashley Holstrom links three "bite-sized" book reviews a month. She leaves me thinking about books, ideas, and the way they fit together.
Jami Attenberg's weekly newsletter is one of the few that is consistently valuable to me as a writer. Here is where writers find support, encouragement and #1000wordsofsummer.
