This isn’t some namby-pamby goal-setting workshop. This is the real deal.
Here’s the truth: You’re allowed to be ambitious. Despite the word’s negative connotations, ambition isn’t necessarily a bad thing. To sum up centuries of the word’s changing meanings and implications, it can be a negative or positive trait depending on the person and the ends. It can be the fast track to greatness or vice.
Being realistic means seeing things as they are, not as you might want them to be. It’s the humbling, hard work part of goal setting.
The two together are a recipe for success and growth in your professional life and as a human being on Substack.

What qualifies me to teach this workshop?
(You should ask this of everyone you work with!)
The guidance I give you is based directly on the advice Substack gave me. No marketing tricks. No gimmicks.
I share with you my experience as the creator of two bestselling, featured Substack publications (Writers at Work with Sarah Fay and Cured: The Memoir); a member of Substack’s Product Lab; an author at HarperCollins; a freelance writer at The New York Times and elsewhere; a former advisory editor at The Paris Review; a creative writing professor at Northwestern University; someone with a relationship with the Substack team and who loves all things Substack.
Hope to see you at the workshop!
