Ruth writes a bit like the friend who’ll hand you a cuppa, raise an eyebrow, and tell you the truth you didn’t know you needed. Her essays on creativity, intuition and life’s wobbles are warm, witty and quietly profound. A proper treat for your inbox — like good coffee and better chat. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite writers on Substack. Really beautiful slow, honest storytelling where the movement comes through the way sensory details are shared. Highly recommend.

Phillip weaves music, memory, longing and humor into evocative prose and poetry. His writing is intimate and playful, exploring love, loss, identity, and inner voices with a tone that’s both raw and tender. A genuine pleasure to read and share. Highly recommend.

If you enjoy fiction that lingers—stories that haunt your thoughts long after you finish—I can’t recommend Prakriti’s Kathalaya enough. She is a Nepali writer whose work weaves together culture, memory, identity, and mental health with a rare emotional clarity. Prakriti’s writing often feels like a conversation across generations: the weight of familial expectations, the friction between tradition and change, the quiet ache of inner turmoil.
