Our Favorite Substackers to Follow

Those of you who receive our email directly in your inbox may not realize it has been delivered via Substack. Substack is an online platform that allows writers and content creators (like FabList) to publish newsletters and build a subscription-based audience (either free or via paid subscription). We like Substack because users (like you) can easily explore and access great content from a huge variety of publishers, all in one place. Plus, you can chat with other readers as well as the authors. Below is a list of some of our favorite Substack publishers (we tend to focus on fashion/lifestyle, but people write on all topics). We invite you to explore and follow/support these or others that interest you!

Below are the Substacks that we pay for, versus just getting their ‘free’ version:

  • Scratch Pad by The Stripe by Grace Atwood: Fashion and Lifestyle newsletter/blogger based in Charleston.
  • Earl Earl by Laurel Pantin: Very hip LA-based Fashion/Shopping/Stylist tastemaker who has a great ‘voice’, as well as style.
  • Club Yolo by Yolanda Edwards: Travel intel and inspiration.
  • Cheryl Strayed: Jo loves this Wild author and her publication Dear Sugar which is like Dear Abby, full of compassionate advice for today’s problems. She also has a Tell Us author series in which she interviews authors. So good!
  • Big Salad by Joanna Goddard: Author of the popular lifestyle site, Cup of Jo, Big Salad is packed with life advice, fun finds, etc.

Below are additional Substackers we enjoy for free:

  • Jess Graves at THE LOVE LIST: NY-based fashion writer.
  • Jane on Jeans: Jane Hermon knows ALL about jeans!
  • Denna at Strictly the Good Stuff: Travel, shopping and more. Really good stuff!
  • Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style: Style (fashion-forward) for grown women. (FYI: need to pay to get the good stuff).
  • Casey Lewis at afterschool: Newsletter about trends and youth culture. Good one to follow if you want to stay current on what the younger generation is up to.
  • Downtime by Alisha Ramos: Thoughts on books, style and lifestyle.
  • Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach: A zillion dinner ideas, from weeknight, slap-it-together mainstays to the latest and greatest food ideas.
  • StyledSara by Sara Walker: Sharing styling tips, shopping guides and favorite pieces.
  • The Flair Index by Jennifer Alfano: Veteran writer/editor at Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue + other publications for over 20 years. All about fewer, better things.
  • Somsack Sikhounmuong – Creative director for Alex Mill who share items he loves and places he goes!
