Have a story to tell or an audience you’ve been meaning to build? This hands-on workshop gets you up and running on Substack — a powerful platform that puts your writing directly in readers’ inboxes, no algorithm required.
No Substack yet? We’ll build one together — name, bio, and theme. Then we’ll write and publish your first post, so you leave with something real already out in the world. We’ll cover everything from setting up your account and optimizing your profile to writing, formatting, and publishing your first post.
We’ll also explore Substack Notes — the platform’s built-in feature for short-form posts that reach new readers without ever leaving Substack. The secret? It’s less about broadcasting and more about genuine conversation.
This workshop is ideal for anyone ready to build a direct relationship with an audience. Just bring your laptop and an idea. We’ll handle the rest!
