Your Substack Is So Much More Than Just a Newsletter

It's not bad to remind your readers of that

Four quick things:

• Welcome,

  Junot Díaz
  to Substack! He’ll be sharing his immense wisdom and writing—“wordcraft and worldcraft.” Yet another opportunity to learn from the best. A must-subscribe.

• Warning: There are a whole lot of people out there teaching writing, many without the chops to be doing so. Go to the master teachers on here. There are others, of course, but here are four:

  • Junot Díaz for fiction,

  • George Saunders
    for the short story,

  • Jennifer Lauck
    for memoir, and

  • Jeannine Ouellette
    for nonfiction and all things creativity.

• The Building Community and Keeping Subscribers on Substack workshop replay is available here!

• If you benefit from Writers at Work, it’s fair to pay for what you receive. An annual subscription allows me to continue to bring you the best guidance based on advice from Substack so you can have agency over your career.

Onward!
