SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Everyone's on Substack: Should you be?
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of writers are jumping on the Substack bandwagon every month. Learn how to break in with your newsletter.\n\n\n\nRegular email newsletters allow writers to build an organic audience based on direct connection with readers\, and this kind of platform can be attractive to literary agents. Substack has more than 20 million active subscribers\, and over 17\,000 writers are being paid for their writing on the platform. But with thousands of writers joining every month—many of them famous—how can a new writer break in? \n\n\n\nAfter nearly four years writing her Substack Between Two Things\, Lindsey DeLoach Jones has learned lots of lessons the hard way. In this presentation\, she’ll give tips for writing essays that will succeed in the email format\, building an audience (using Notes and other features)\, and connecting with other like-minded writers. She’ll also help you think through your newsletter goals (from earning money to practicing your skills to building an email list that supports your writing and publishing). \n\n\n\nCan’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nEXPLORE various ways to interact on Substack\n\n\n\nLEARN how to write a newsletter people want to read \n\n\n\nSET goals for your newsletter.\n\n\n\n\nYou should take this webinar if you\n\n\n\n\nAre new to building a platform\n\n\n\nHave considered moving to Substack\n\n\n\nWant to better reach your audience\n\n\n\nAre unsure how to tackle the Substack essay format\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLindsey DeLoach Jones is a writer living in Greenville\, South Carolina. She often finds herself inside the tension between seemingly opposed forces—the spiritual and the practical\, the mysterious and the mundane\, the Mother and the Artist. In this spirit\, she has been writing a Substack called Between Two Things since 2021. \n\n\n\nLindsey holds a BA and MA in English and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction. She has served as the Writer-in-Residence at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and has taught literature and writing at Clemson University.

She previously served as Editor of Emrys Journal and Edible Upcountry. \n\n\n\nLindsey’s essays have appeared in HuffPost\, HuffPost Parenting\, Split Lip\, Under the Gum Tree\, and Motherwell. She is a recipient of the Vandermey Nonfiction Prize\, and an essay nominated by Pigeon Pages was recently a finalist for Best of the Web. \n\n\n\nQuestions?
