A Substack Directory: Essays & Memoirs by Women for Women
A Lifestyle Category of Women Writers
I posted a note here on Substack in November saying in short, “I wish there was a lifestyle category on Substack. Please share your favorite women written Substacks that would be categorized as lifestyle”.
I was BLOWN AWAY at your responses. So many amazing writers!
I put your recomendations together in this directory because I wanted everyone to be able to access it. The only vetting I did was to confirm each one was doing actual writing, not just “how to Substack” style posts, and that they were currently posting at a consistent pace.
Please share this directory of women with your followers and spread the wealth. Tag me when you share it!
If you did not make it into the original round and have come across this via a share of someone who did, please DM me and share someone else you would nominate. We will make sure you are both a good fit and if so, add you to the list.
In no particular order, below are all of your recommendations that met the above criteria.
What a great list. I have been pressing Substack for a category covering our emotional lives going back for two years. Thanks so much for taking the initiative and thanks for including me in your list. So many writers I know, but so many I don't. Too many writers, so little time...
Oh my goodness! I can't believe I've been included! Thank you, Stefanie, for this directory. It must have taken you ages! I can't wait to connect with even more lovely people among those in here I have already discovered. Thank you for including me.
