About me

My goal is to empower you to build your platform, earn income, and produce your best work.

I’m the creator of two bestselling, featured Substacks who was privately advised by Substack and a Substack Growth Strategist who’s helped thousands:

• double and triple their subscribers

• substantially increase their revenue

• create real, lasting reader engagement

I’m also a Substack Product Lab member, an award-winning, bestselling HarperCollins author, a former advisory editor at The Paris Review, a freelance writer for The New York Times, etc., a member of the creative writing faculty at Northwestern University, and a lover of all things cats and Substack. 

I hold many degrees: M.F.A., M.A., Ph.D. My debut memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins) was an Apple Best Books pick and hailed in The New York Times. Read the sequel, Cured: The Memoir, and my author Substack, Less and Less of More and More.

Based in Chicago, I live with my two beloved cats, Baby Theo and Sweets. More than anything, I want a t-shirt that says, Ask me about my cats. (All typos are Baby Theo’s fault.)

Let’s do this.

I subsidize a 3-month paid membership for anyone on a fixed income. If this is you, email me: mssarahfay1516@gmail.com.
