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 also 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;
a freelance writer at The New York Times and elsewhere;
a former advisory editor at The Paris Review; and
a creative writing professor at Northwestern University.
No one else has the relationship with Substack that I do and specializes in the unique nature of the platform, how it can be used to earn an income, and how it complements traditional publishing and all aspects of a writer’s career.
