My goodness, Ben ... I saw the list coming but I did NOT see me on the list. Super-generous. Love, love Jill's work and so excited to explore your other choices. Touched that fiction, and my short form of it, makes the list ... we 'fictioneers' need all the boosts we can garner for the genre; there are super story tellers out there - Bill Adler, Justin Deming, Meg Oolders all come to mind. Delighted to feel the encouragement, and very grateful, thank you. Barrie
Barrie, the pleasure is all mined. Hooked is a great story, as are your others, which I always look forward to. I have read Meg’s writing and as I said in a it’s, [she] can just flat out right. I look forward to my next list and I owe you a response to your very warm encouragement.
Ben, thank you for this. A genuine honour to be in this line up. I read that Steinbeck piece earlier today and thought it was fabulous, as are Barrie and David. I hadn’t come across Jeroen yet but loved this piece of his and look forward to exploring more. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
Jill, the pleasure is all mine. I love your piece and was delighted to share it. I’m not a good skier, but when I’m on the slopes, it requires a level of concentration and a feeling of bliss that, together, make the rest of the world disappear. Thank you for reading the list and for your very kind restack. Enjoy your weekend.
Rosana, thank you for finding this post here. There are so many good writers here that it can be difficult to find what you're looking for, as you say. The search function on Substack is good, but I find that word of mouth is the best, as is the Notes section. Thank you for reading.

So so pleased to see you there, Jill.
And I you!
Very kind, thank you. B
Hi Ben, thanks a lot for the share! Honored to be on your list and excited to check out the other writers 👍🏼 have a great rest of your Sunday!
Jeroen, I noticed everything you did to highlight the other writers mentioned in this piece. I'm sure they appreciate that, as I do. Thank you.
glad I found this as am struggling to find things on here (might not be using the site correctly though). Thanks for posting
