Lynette, thank you so much for this. I’m still acclimating to the platform and finding it so important to really understand the lay of the land. I followed several writers I’ve long admired from your list and will be supporting them going forward.

See you in September, love! 🤍

Thank you so much for including me, Lynette! It means tremendously, and I’m so happy to see other writers I admire on here and diving into new ones!

I’m certainly not the best writer, but it’s honestly been discouraging at times seeing the lack of diversity on Substack. It makes you wonder whether your work isn’t good enough, or if it’s something out of your control.

It’s great that you’ve put this list together and I hope to see more diversity here.

Thank you for sharing this little French fashion newsletter. But also for verbalizing and acting on something we have all felt since we’re on this platform. I know the work of most of the fashion side, but I will indulge in the pop culture/art & literature sections!
