Writer-ish with Darien Gee

Where craft meets life. Transform everyday moments into micro prose (<300 words) with weekly prompts, live writing sessions, and creative support.

Darien is a kind and generous multi-genre writer and teacher who transforms micro prose into masterful storytelling and shows you how to do it! Of all the writing Substacks to subscribe to, this is worth it 100%. I highly recommend Darien and Writer-ish if you want to get your stories into the world.

Men Yell at Me

By lyz

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.

Smart and funny. And yeah, I grew up in Iowa, so I have a soft spot for that too.
