I've only just found this publication and I'm grateful to have landed here. The burning beliefs you mention- speak to my writerly heart.
The cathartic tears that fall as my pen scratches my itch - that is why I keep coming back to write.
This line jumped out and onto me: "language is creaturely - with a pulse and will of its own, and it is to be respected as a wild thing." YES! So much yes.
And to answer your roll call - my Substack is DARE TO BE DRY - a space where I am learning to trust the creative surges that have resurrected inside me. I am a woman in recovery who fiercely protects my sobriety. Stepping away from alcohol is how I stepped closer to my true self. And it is from this place that I write. I'd love to have company on this ride!
I’ve been a subscriber of Slant Letter for a few years since seeing you at a Hope Writers teaching. I’m honored to get to learn from and work with you as an author now too!
I'm in! Your site is so helpful and alligns with my style and purpose in writing. Look forward to the ongoing writing relationship. I'm 7 1/2 years into my own blogging world, and know I will continue to benefit from your site as q valuable resource.
I first heard about your Slant Letter back at a writer's retreat in 2016 I believe, and it is one of the few newsletters I read top to bottom every time. I am always blown away by your fresh insight and beautiful writing, Stephanie! I have been a ghostwriter for many years but recently just self-published a children's book for Saint Patrick's Day called The Richest Leprechaun in Ireland: https://solemnitybooks.com/shop
Congrats Stephanie! This is so exciting. In response to your roll call, I write Substack newsletters and Bible studies (like this one! https://hosannarevival.com/pages/eternity-in-our-hearts ). Thanks for the expertise and heart you put into this letter. It’s such a highlight! -Alicia
So excited for this! Your words are among those that have always moved me the most deeply here, and wherever you write them, while inspiring me, like SO many of us, in my writing. Thank you, and HUGE congrats on this new chapter!
The people rejoice! I've said it before, I'll say it again--you are the spiritual director to memoirists, and we thank you. I love your commitment to craft and soul, showing us that we don't need to pick one or the other--they both grow when one is nurtured.
Insert a meme of me banging my credit card on the table because I became a paid subscriber so fast! Yay!

Well that was the easiest "upgrade to paid" pretty much ever.

Congrats on 8 years, Stephanie. I'm looking forward to what the next season brings for you.
I write supernatural fiction that reflects the power and wonder of prayer!
Go well, from Sydney, Australia
