Hi Garance! So glad to see you here in Substack! Welcome! I started a few months ago too because I gave myself a chance to share my poems out there with the world. And Substack is a very friendly place to do so. My newsletter is called Pluma Afilada.

Hi Garance! Glad to have you in my (subscription) life and have opportunity to follow you here. I’m not familiar with Substack but I would be glad to explore it. At the same time as I am currently in Belarus (I know, it’s not the best place to be now, but sometimes our family needs rule) I have to use vpn, because substack is unavailable to enter from my Belarus. Will your letters be here only, right?

Hello Garance,

Writing is amazing, of course. But what is spectacular to me is the seamless technical transition from L’île to Substack. With admiration and a bit of awe, Elyse

I love this move - because it not only fosters the preexisting community we already know but links into other Substacks, too, as part of a broader communal space. 🙌❤️🙌
