Kent’s Substack

By Kent Peterson

Most of what I post here is typed on one of my many old manual typewriters.

Kent Peterson is cool. The typewritten script, the intent, the use of language - they’re all just right. How he says what he says is always worn lightly and never self consciously, and I frequently find what he says helpful. Genuine writing. As I said, cool. Try reading him.

By Daisy Goodwin

I love writing and I love an audience. I will be live writing my new novel The Pemberley Papers here and sending a weekly newsletter with glimpses of play rehearsals, script conferences, festivals and all the fun bits of this writer's life.

I dig Daisy Goodwin’s work for her honesty and her style. She is a writer of real wit and I value her work as part of my reading life.

Open Letters, from Anne Applebaum

By Anne Applebaum

democracy and dictatorship, Russia and Ukraine, America and Europe, local and global, past and present

Anne Applebaum is an important, clear, and beautifully written writer showing, rather than telling, why politics matter to all of us. It’s wonderful that she’s here on Substack.

Versailles Century

By David Gemeinhardt

The court of Versailles and French high society through the words of those who were there between 1682 and 1789.

I really look forward to these daily vignettes of fact and people from Versailles between 1682 and 1789. They are such a good length: little pops of history whose brevity belies their layers of meaning and personality. And the clothes...Really good. I love this and hope you might as well.

Bread and Roses

By Portia

Musings about translation, my bread, and what I find interesting and no less vital, the roses.

I love reading Portia’s writing for her freshness and wry eye.
