SmallStack Library

Looking for a fresh read?

The SmallStack Library is a list of Substack publications with fewer than 1,000 total subscribers. Completely managed by our volunteer team, it’s a place to browse and list small stacks as an alternative to Substack’s limited navigation system.

I have a Substack, can I list myself in the Library?

You can fill out the form linked at the top of the SmallStack Library main page, or use this link right here:

The only criteria to be listed in the SmallStack Library is a total subscriber count of 1,000 or fewer. That’s it. No other hurdles.

Well, one hurdle. If your publication URL (like smallstack.Substack.com), title, or description contains a very clearly racist, sexist, queermisic, etc. word or concept, your listing will be placed on hold while we look into it.

Further information on these caveats can be found on the SmallStack FAQ page.

Editing, outgrowing, and deleting your listing

If for any reason you wish to edit your listing, you can fill out this form to update it—just remember to fill out the “Update” bubble, it’s the first question!

If you wish to remove your listing or have outgrown our <1,000 subscriber policy, you can fill out this form to request to have your listing removed. You can also select the option to be featured in our Alumni Library.
