"Substack, the (apparently pretty well-funded) newsletter distribution company, has announced its second round of fellows, led by novelist and essayist Kaitlyn Greenidge. Greenidge is the only Senior Fellow of the ten, a title that carries with it a $100,000 grant.
Her newsletter, Kaitlyn, will feature “cultural criticism that is entirely unchained from the demands of the timely/the zeitgeist. Deep dives on forgotten cultural phenomena; interviews with writers who wrote forgotten, seminal works; critiques and discussion groups around cult classics and art from the recent past.” --Lit Hub

Hear from Carrie, "When I started Howland Literary, LLC, I always knew that, beyond advocating for authors and shepherding their brilliant books into the world, it would be an agency committed to giving back. Yesterday, Howland Literary was thrilled to donate $125 worth of pillows, bedding, toiletries, and toys to S.A.F.E. Place, a women’s shelter in Battle Creek, MI. Many thanks to volunteer coordinator Tina Michmerhuizen (pictured here) for helping to facilitate this donation, which the shelter said they very much needed. And thank you to our wonderful authors whose faith in us allows us to to do what we love: publishing books and giving back."
