Saturday Spotlight: Substack Gems No 3

Weekly Writer Spotlight

One of the things I love most about Substack is the incredible community of talented writers who share their knowledge, experiences, and thoughts here every day. The platform has become a treasure trove for discussing topics that resonate deeply with me, and which I’d like to share with my friends here.

I hope you find something here that takes your interest and that you enjoy reading. You may even find something that makes you laugh or better still, that makes you stop and think.

So settle down and relax, perhaps with a coffee or cup of tea, and kick your weekend off by catching up with some great writing that you may have missed during the week.
