Substack's Talents - 2
Just look for the less visible star
I’ve met some incredible writers at Substack. Their work is compelling, exiting, and transformative—it makes you a better reader and a better writer. It feels like stepping into a space of raw, unfiltered talent, untouched by the constraints of the publishing market. A place where authentic creative madness thrives. Or at least it should. I’m not just talking about selling books or gaining followers. I’m talking about writers who follow the less visible star, those who create for the sake of creating. I don’t know how to explain it exactly, but as a reader, I’m not drawn to famous authors, I want to read authentic ones.
Of course, there are a lot of writers on Substack who only focus on promotion and sales, but that doesn’t matter. Because among them are the truly talented crazies—the ones who still talk to the stars.
