ScholarStack! 📚

A compendium of Substack newsletters by, for, and about scholarly writers

Dear fellow writer,

Here it is at last: ScholarStack, a compendium of scholarly writers and writing on Substack (with “scholarly” very broadly defined!) I’ve classified the listings under the following headings:

📕 Academic Life & Career Development
📗 Research Communication & Analysis
📘 Discipline-Specific Scholarship
📙 Scholars at Large

I have a feeling that this list represents only a drop in the bucket of all the relevant newsletters out there in the Substackiverse, so please get in touch if:

• You write about your own academic research on Substack.

• You write about other people’s academic research on Substack.

• You’re a former, current, or aspiring academic who writes about any topic on Substack.

• You subscribe to Substack newsletters by or for academic writers.

• You publish a Substack newsletter aimed at academic writers.

• You’re looking for resources to help you navigate the world of academic writing.

• You don’t tick any of the above boxes, but you’ve got some great ideas!

To recommend a newsletter for ScholarStack — your own or someone else’s — simply fill out this online form:

I’ll pin this post to my Helen’s Word homepage and will send out updates from time to time. Let’s bring together writers from around the world under a gigantic mortarboard-shaped tent to celebrate scholarly research and writing in all its many guises!
