A Writer's Notebook

“Summer Brennan is such a wonderful writer!”

“Summer is simply one of the best writers today that I’m aware of. Her art connects with my heart and my head in a way that few others’ work has - and I’m also appreciative of her ways of sharing her process and things that she’s learned with others.”

“Summer is an immensely talented writer. I adore her observations of Parisian life. Every post has a breath-taking phrase or viewpoint that grabs at my insides. I'm also really enjoying her Book of the Courtesan series, a fascinating look at the history of the 'undominated' women of 19th century Paris, she stumbled upon in research for her next book. Simply a gorgeous substack.”
