Substack lets writers connect with their audience on their own terms and earn money doing it. We make it simple for writers to publish to an email list that they own, get discovered on the web, and charge for subscriptions. More than 500,000 people pay to subscribe to writers across the Substack network, and the top writers make millions of dollars a year. Substack’s model depends on the success of writers using Substack – we only make money when they do. “Substack makes it dead simple to start a newsletter and get paid for it.” – Judd Legum, author of Popular Information "Substack gives me a way to connect with my audience on my own terms.” – Lyz Lenz, author of God Land and Men Yell At Me Make something that matters Great writing is valuable.

“If my Substack is the open studio I’m hosting, then Notes is the bench or the park in front of the studio where the work of the studio spills out and mingles with the world beyond.

In a new guide, we spoke to writers and creators to get tips on how they use Notes to launch and grow their publications—from posting an introductory video to experimenting with new ideas.

#RemarkablePeople has launched on Substack! Every issue will help you make a difference and be remarkable. What's missing? The concept of asking, “What’s missing?” was introduced to me during an interview with Dan Simons of the University of Illinois, in order to give credit where it is due. It is remarkable advice for recent graduates and everyone else too. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/gjmQWRk4 The mechanism I am using is the text of my commencement address to the Crown College of UC Santa Cruz on June 14, 2024. I can’t recall a speech in the last twenty years and 1,000 appearances that I wrote out word-for-word and rehearsed multiple times. Such is the gravity and importance of a commencement address, and giving a commencement address is one of the most prestigious honors. 📖 📖 Read my speech on Substack: https://lnkd.in/g_WkATgu ▶️ ▶️ Watch my speech by skipping to the 8:35 mark: https://bit.ly/3W1zqcY 🧠 🧠 Explore https://lnkd.in/gzf2raai #ThinkRemarkable

Last week, at a 150-year-old church in New York’s Upper West Side, hundreds of readers, subscribers, and fans flocked to Rayne Fisher-Quann’s first ‘Secrets Reading.’ The evening included readings from seven emerging talents in writing, who read an anonymized secret by one of the other readers—one which had never been shared before. Songs by Madonna, played by the church organist on one of the oldest organs in New York City, accompanied their walk down the aisle for each reading. Attendees called the evening “a communal release,” “radical,” and “of course, the writing was incredible, and so well performed.” Thank you to everyone who came and to all the amazing readers for sharing their story.
