Rebecca Makkai's Substack: mostly writing and books! but also Zillow, true crime, etymology, food, general inanity
Author of novels and stories, including I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU (Feb '23) and THE GREAT BELIEVERS (Carnegie Medal, Pulitzer finalist). Chicago/Vermont.
Words. Words about words. Words about copyediting. The occasional cultural observation.
Real talk about the writing + publishing industry from an author who doesnโt want you to feel confused, bewildered, or alone. Plus: craft tips, reading recommendations, writing support + solidarity (unless you are a jerk to people in the comments).
Writing prompts, inspiration, notes on the writing life, and virtual writing workshops
