After seconds of research - I can reveal the true identity of a much followed Substack author.
‘Serious Literary Author’ AKA has been hiding in plain sight since the beginning.
Long time followers can’t fail to have noticed that his numerous replies are protests highlighting his pain resulting from people just failing to understand that he is an SLA. In short his very integrity is brought into question. Constantly.
His only recourse? Replying. And there reveals his pain.
In short SLA ‘Daniel Piper’s nom de plume is ‘Replied Pain’ - an anagram in plain sight.
Extra weight given because of course - all SLAs have ‘nom de plumes’.
