Where authors gossip, geek out and let off steam: 15 of the best literary Substacks
Briefly

The digital age has revitalized literary life by echoing 18th-century practices like pamphleteering, reduced copyright, and patronage. Substack serves as a modern platform for authors to communicate directly with subscribers through email. Writers use it to share new work, engage with readers, and express personal opinions on various topics. Subscription models on Substack provide different levels of access, offering paywalled content, discounted annual fees, and exclusive member benefits. The platform's immediacy allows authors to monetize their work effectively, offering a more personal connection with readers free from corporate influence.
The platform allows authors to send emails to a list of subscribers, and allows those subscribers to interact in comment forums.
Most Substacks also let you sign up to public posts for free, offering an immediate connection between writers and their audience.
