One of the joys of my job is meeting people like @jo_petroni. Jo's spirit is potent in the visuals surrounding the writing on her Substack, Jo's Epistolary, and the work I've been lucky to do with her (peep my fav!) Join Jo tomorrow & soak up all the rich insights she shares!
Writer, architecture professor, and illustrator, @jo_petroni, is gathering Substack writers who want to dive into the visual appearance of their publication and what that means for their readers. Join the visuals meetup tomorrow.

When I was in middle school I was the slow kid and would scour the internet for the (often janky, pirated) audio version of my school books. Today's an exciting day for us listener readers.
Today, we are introducing new features that make audio sharing on Substack easier for writers, while improving the listening experience for subscribers. Learn more: https://t.co/pV7A03U6TY

Enjoyed participating in @SubstackInc Grow. Top tips: - Be consistent (one post a week ideally) - ENJOY what you write about (people respond to the energy you put out) - Aim for steady growth, not overnight 'tactics' - Use other platforms to signpost but focus on the WORDS <3

My thoughts on how to grow a newsletter audience if you don’t have a preexisting platform essentially boils down to make friends.
How does a writer grow their Substack from scratch? In the first year of What to Read If, @ElizabethHeld found "gentle outreach" added up—helping her grow from 0 to 2000+ readers. Elizabeth shares the art of a cold email in three steps [🧵]
