David, can you teach me something here? I have writer friends who wish to read your article but don't subscribe. Can they read this article to see if they want to subscribe? How do I do that without copying the article in .pdf and posting, which would violate some rules, I'm sure, and be unfair to you? As a newbie on Substack, I'm constantly finding things I can't do. I appreciate your help.

Hey, thanks for asking! They can do a free trial, which they can cancel before having to pay. They'd still have to subscribe but they won't get charged as long as they opt out before the 7 days are up.

What does someone new in publishing (or rather, who wants to veer drastically from - even ignore - the first books she published) even write about? I read other writers bc I learn from their experience. How do I literally *start* when I don't know what to share?
