Substacks recommended by White Ink with Anna Wharton

Recommended by White Ink with Anna Wharton

I am an incurable memoir addict. I love reading it, teaching it, and writing it. Here you will find stories from a life, but you will also learn how to write it, and how memoir can be transformative beyond the page.

A treasure chest of honest writing, exploring craft and all the ups and down of the writing life.

Clover Stroud: On The Way Life Feels

By Clover Stroud on The Way Life Feels

I write about the moments that make up our extraordinary lives, especially related to creativity, relationships, sobriety, motherhood, grief and joy. I like hearing other's experiences too, so we can connect through a sense of our shared humanity

Clover's beautiful writing combined with her very honest reflections on life, death, sex, love, family, landscape and home make this Substack a joy to receive in your inbox every single week. Clover has such a wonderful connection with her audience, part of what makes One The Way Life Feels so unique.

What Now? with Lindsay Johnstone

Asking and attempting to answer various flavours of this question as I rattle roughshod over the peaks and troughs of post-analysis, perimenopausal midlife from home in Glasgow, Scotland

There is so much here for smart, creative women from this smart, creative woman, plus I have only just discovered Lindsay reading extracts from her powerful memoir – I am already hooked (and now a complete fan of her work)

The Mule by Milli Hill

Vigorous hybrid of motherhood, feminism, the female body, sex and gender, writing, publishing, and life, from bestselling non-fiction author Milli Hill.

The Art of Enchantment, with Dr Sharon Blackie

New writing from the award-winning author and psychologist. A gathering place for lovers of myth, fairy tales and depth psychology, exploring the mysteries of the psyche and the enchanted life.

What Sharon offers on her substack is worth its weight in gold – let alone a few pounds a month. I cannot recommend it highly enough, quickly followed by her books.
