Recommended by Walk on the Wild Side

Shenanigans and Stuff

By Katy Wheatley

Things I think about and have nowhere else to put

There is an absolute candid brilliance to her writing. A rollercoaster of a read, often howlingly funny, at times very much less so. Outstandingly well crafted writing, with an emotional range from the raw to the cooked.

Ninki Substack by Margaret Bennett

It will be a buffet, hopefully one with good salads and homemade delights rather than a beige banquet. I write memoir and cultural musings.

Great writing that reflects on her life experiences. Witty and moving in equal measure. Also a very generous spirit here on Substack.

Music, Movies, Stories and Mutterings

By Gayle

A free space for my thoughts on music, culture, and storytelling with the occasional short piece of fiction. If you enjoy the writing, there’s an optional Ko-fi link instead of paid subscriptions.

An excellent mix of music and gig reviews, plus some book reviews and links to her own published fiction. Her 'new to me' reviews and sometime radio shows are an illuminating joy.
