m Additional "major writers" added (David Bentley Hart and Tui T. Sutherland; while the former is a major writer on-site, the latter's relatively contemporarily recent joining of the site is not necessarily indicative of the stature of her publishing output, and as such this inclusion may be challenged and/or the nature of the criteria for including major writers could be discussed among contributors to the page (ex. discussing the inclusion of bestselling authors with low on-Substack output)). ^^ |
