A Substack about community for people who want to be better neighbors. Life in my small, rural, Iowa town is idyllic--and also really hard. I imagine the same can be said about wherever you live. Come join the conversation!
If Iowa had a group chat, this would be it.
Hosted by Julie Gammack, this Substack blends independent journalism, lively opinion, and unexpected voices from across the state. Think potluck, but with more insight and fewer Crock-Pots.
Linking readers and professional writers who care about Iowa.
I am pleased to have recently been added to this amazing roster of Iowa-based writers.
This is a great way to keep tabs on what is happening in our state and support good writing and reporting.
We produce inspiring stories about Black entrepreneurs. We also write pieces on art, travel, and our experiences as a mission-driven film production company. Paid subscribers receive courses on storytelling, entrepreneurship and creativity.
A unique perspective on public affairs built on commentary, stories about real people, historical perspective, and subject matter that is deeply researched.
My interests are diverse: history, politics, current events, music, life experiences. I write about things that interest me, things I know about... often reflecting my (primarily) rural perspective.
