Someone told me recently that Substack isn’t really a place for interiors writers and visual types of content. That design bloggers don’t really fit the landscape here. That this is the space for writers on far deeper and more meaningful topics.
In many ways I agree. Substack has a huge amount of authors, historians, journalists, economists, linguists, tech journalists, novelists, media figures, thought leaders and even some musicians and actors.
Then there is me and a handful of other “design” writers.
So the thing is this: I fit into the world of Substack as an author and journalist, but I don’t feel my content aligns here. Yet, in many ways, the rebel in me as one of the first design bloggers on this planet, denied by magazine editors as a writer so I created my own space to write (decor8), says “eff it, write about home topics anyway!”
What do you think?
Are you interested in interiors content here or do you also believe that interior design and creative topics concerning home don’t really fit or belong on Substack?
And for content here, by me, what would you like me to really dive into?
Let’s discuss below or, if you’re pressed for time, you may also quickly cast your vote in this poll below.
Curious minds what to know…

Hello Holly,
Design and Interiors will definately work via Substack. I think it is one's own interest and passion that gravitates towards certain writers and their contributions.
What I personally will not do is pay to follow. Sorry but, to me that is a NO GO area.
With friendly greetings from Augsburg,
Susanne
It does really fit, I don’t think anyone has the right to dictate what fit or not bcos at the end it all comes down to one’s passion and ability to make it work
