Thank you Renata for all of this! I will have a look at some of your recommendations.

Regarding chronicles, in Sweden, we have the word "krönika" which is a 500-word personal piece expressing an idea, feeling and/or opinion. Once upon a time, I loved writing those for my local newspaper.

Now, it's all Substack, and I just made the decision to write solely in English, as running two stacks isn't feasible right now. All the best from Stockholm!

Thank you for reading! Do you know if any of the Swedish ones were ever translated to English? I’d love to see how Swedish writers approached the chronicle.

Not that I know of… A “krönika” here is pretty much the same as a newspaper column. But I let you know if I come across anything :-)

I love Clarice and her crônicas, and it’s a perfect way to think about newsletters. Lots of great recommendations here too!
