Stories that Grow: A New Substack

A brief introduction to Stories that Grow - a substack dedicated to Latinx authors

Stories That Grow is more than just a review platform—it’s a celebration of the voices and narratives that shape the Latino experience. In a world where Latin authors are often overlooked or underrepresented, this Substack is dedicated to amplifying their stories and ensuring their creativity reaches the readers it deserves. By curating impactful books and sharing thoughtful reviews, we aim to connect people to the diverse tapestry of Latino storytelling. Coupled with our sister substack, Hispanicish.com, we look to create a newsletter for those interested in the Latinx story.

The necessity of Stories That Grow lies in its mission to shine a light on the richness and depth of Latino culture. These stories go beyond entertainment—they serve as bridges, connecting readers to perspectives that challenge, inspire, and deepen understanding. Literature has the unique ability to preserve heritage while exploring universal themes, and Latino authors contribute profoundly to this global conversation. Yet, their work often lacks the recognition and platform it deserves.

Through this Substack, we provide a space for these voices to thrive. Our reviews, reading lists, and author spotlights are carefully curated to celebrate the incredible diversity within the Latino community. From contemporary works to timeless classics, we seek to showcase the talent and vision of authors whose stories deserve to be heard and shared. Every post is a step toward building awareness and appreciation for narratives rooted in culture, history, and identity.

Join us at Stories That Grow as we cultivate a community of readers who value the power of storytelling. By supporting Latin authors and engaging with their work, you’re not just reading a book—you’re participating in a movement to amplify voices and nurture stories that inspire growth, connection, and change.
