I’m brand spankin’ new to Substack and slowly getting a feel for everything. This post was so helpful, inspiring, and motivating while keeping my feet on the ground. Bravo and thanks for this!

I'm already doing some of these things, but there's a lot of actionable advice here. I second the recommendation of BookFunnel.

Thank you for such a rich report on your journey!

I'm not writing fiction. But I like to know so many different success stories on this platform.

Good read. Thanks. A lot of meta articles about Substack are vaporous. I’m also serializing (thrillers) over at Dark & Stormy!

Great article. I admit it: I am plotting my way from the path you have already forged.

Thank you, Simon. (Now it's on to your next one, which I have already starred in my email.)
