Thanks Matt. I take 90% of the pleasure from being shortlisted and while I love to win when shortlisted, it’s a total bonus and not a deflation if I don’t…BUT this one would be particularly excellent as it would feel like a big deal for substack(ers) in general for awards to start recognising what great stuff goes on here
Thank you Amie Elizabeth - that's very lovely of you. I'm someone who celebrates the shortlisting (all those people it could've been and you are in the three chosen!) and if I win, it's a total magic bonus!
Thank you Jo - and for persuading me all that time ago that I needed to investigate substack. And yes, shortlisting is the thing to celebrate - just so great that such awards are starting to recognise substacks as as valid as print media
Many congrats, Mark!
Thank you Elisabeth - one for all of us doing our thing here
This feels huge - you have literally invented your own category of writing live on Substack and then casually been shortlisted for it. Blimey. 👏🏻
Ha ha, well I'm not sure about inventing it but I do love it very much and everyone here gives it a point, makes it happen and all that, so thank you
Many congratulations, Mark. Richly deserved, and best wishes for the award.
