## What is Scribehound?

Scribehound exists because social media has flattened culture into noise — and the best voices are getting lost in it.

We’re building the alternative.

Scribehound is a home for trusted, expert-led collectives — starting with:

The DriveTribe Collective (led by Richard Hammond) 
The Garden Collective
The Countryside Collective 
The Food Collective

…with more to follow across other passions. Each collective brings together respected creators who collaborate, not compete for clicks, to share great writing, audio stories and livestreams with people who genuinely care about the subject.

This is a meeting place for people who want to go deeper, not just scroll.

Scribehound is inspired by what great magazines have done well - thoughtful curation, editorial taste, and a sense of belonging - but evolved for now.

The ambition of each collective is to feel alive and conversational, with creators responding to each other and to the community. You don’t just consume here, you feel part of something.

For subscribers, the benefit is simple:

You leave smarter, energised and inspired - never drained. So it feels like time well spent.

For creators, Scribehound is a more human and sustainable model. The aim is to collaborate and grow together - creatively and commercially. Each collective has its own identity, its own voice, and its own audience - powered by shared momentum.

Scribehound is a home for people who genuinely care about what they love, and want to spend time with others who feel the same. Whether that’s cars, gardens, food, countryside - or the next collective still to come - the principle is always the same:

Real voices. Real knowledge. A place worth returning to.

We’re just getting started.

If this feels like the kind of internet you want more of - you’re in the right place.

### 5/5 — Insightful and thought provoking writing about the countryside

*2026-06-01*

There is nowhere else quite like Scribehound if you have an interest in the UK countryside. The app itself is simple but effective and fast.

### 5/5 — Voices of the multitude

*2026-05-03*

We come from farms and sprawling cities, bleak uplands , honey coloured stone villages and  cookie cutter executive estates…but we have one thing in common, a love for our countryside and its furred and feathered co-inhabitants. The contributors to Scribehound give us an insight into what is happening to our countryside and why it matters, especially under a spiteful government that heartily dislikes everything rural.

### 5/5 — Great space for all things car related

*2026-03-01*

Love the concept of looking at the way we interact with content creators & journalists. Great platform for reading and talking about cars . I love Drive Tribe Collective

### 5/5 — A Great Mind Space

*2026-02-17*

Discovering Scribehound has changed my life for the better. I have laughed, cried, cheered and despaired. I have also learnt a great deal about the topics most dear to me. Scribehound is excellent, I look forward to the new articles, and love that I can comment, even better when the author responds. Long may it continue.

### 5/5 — Breadth

*2026-02-06*

I love the wide variety of subjects covered giving a choice of depth for whatever one feels like reading/listening to.

### 5/5 — Countryside

*2025-09-21*

A daily dose of sensibility, should be essential to all that care and are interested in the many subjects covered. Though provoking, challenging but well considered articles each day

### 5/5 — My new habit!!

*2025-04-16, version 2.7.2*

I love receiving all this daily knowledge on the countryside. The articles are so well written and I learn something new everyday. You can listen to them on the dog walk or in the car too which is handy when I need to catch up on one or two! So easy to navigate the app. Top stuff!

### 5/5 — So much content!

*2025-03-15*

Just the most fabulous, interesting and thought provoking content on this app. If you love gardens , ecology and chatting over the garden fence then this is for you. The articles are beautifully written and if you find gardening and nature soothing then listening to them might help you drift off to sleep too!

### 1/5 — Terrible site

*2025-02-28*

This site is not for me, but will suit others.
The problems arise when you try to cancel the subscription. It is almost impossible and after months I am still being charged.
I would not recommend this site to anyone,
feels like I’ve been scammed.

**Developer response:** Hello, we're proud to offer the ability for anyone to cancel online in only a couple of clicks, so we are confused as to how you are having an issue. We also offer cancellation through our support team and over the phone, so it sounds like you haven't reached out to us with your concern. We'd be delighted to help and look forward hearing from you at theteam@scribehound.com. Kind regards, Scribehound Team.

### 1/5 — Want to love this

*2025-02-10*

Good things: clever, creative writing and diverse topics
Frustrating things: the need to search for your preferred authors, often not able to find their works or newest works, having to restore your purchase if you have beyond the basic membership. If I have the app, have purchased a subscription and know who I would like to read why is it so hard?

**Developer response:** Hi Central Coast Girl, thanks for your positive comments. Sorry you are having issues though. Please email theteam@scribehound.com so we can best help you, we are always on hand to reply very quickly, or for a phone call. First of all, it sounds like you might not be logged in with the account you subscribed with - if you get in touch, we can identify immediately. Regarding the search, we'd need more info to be able to help here as the homepage is set chronologically and all the authors are easy to find at the top of the page and in the search function.
