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!

Glad it was helpful. Do give me a shout if you have any follow-up questions as you dig into writing on Substack.

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.)
