Happy Saturday,
The past few weeks have opened space for me to read again. I’ve been pulling from the old books stacked by my reading nook with no real rhyme or reason, just what’s near.
One evening it’s a dog-eared, fifteen-year-old copy of bell hooks’ All About Love, the next it’s The Favorites — a soapy novel about ice dancers gifted to me months ago. I’ve also just started Isola and The Wilderness, stay tuned for notes!
Writing helps us make sense of ourselves and the world; reading offers the gift of being seen, of slipping into another way of being for a while.
When I started The Good Trade I wanted it to be a space where women could share their stories and expertise with honesty and heart. Over the past decade, we’ve explored many topics through our essays. Some of my personal favorites: how to say your truth, how to fall in love with your life again, how to take things one day at a time, and how to embrace earnestness.
In that same spirit of finding new voices, today I’m sharing a few emerging Substack writers our team has been loving. And since discovery is best when shared, this full edition is free for everyone.
