You’ve heard of Substack and may even have subscribed to a few, but what exactly is this platform? Why do you need to know about it and how does it inform your writing practice?

In this session, we’ll look at Substack, the services it offers, how it can be used, and some popular examples from other writers. We’ll also consider how it compares to other self-publishing platforms like Medium. By the end of the session, you’ll know whether or not this service is for you, and if it is, exactly how to leverage it for yourself!
