We invited Anne Byrn, author, cook, and baker—who writes Between the Layers—to share how she grew on Substack, from collaborating with other writers to celebrating her publication milestones. Read on for her unique insights.
Thank you so much for this!! I’m SO OVER social media and was wondering if there was any way to get away from it while still promoting my Substack, and here’s this lady totally making her Substack rock w/o relying on instagram or twitter. I’m inspired!!
Thank you! Great advice. I just started my Substack and imported many years of my various writings. I just love to write. For now I am sharing my short stories in the hope of building a writing “friend” network. Iron sharpens iron after all.
Anne is absolutely lovely, she’s one of the first substacks I read and I immediately thought: finally someone is doing a food blog without the annoying and endless pop up ads, and also her recipes are wonderful. I’ve done a couple myself.
Great advice here, thank you. This might be a dumb question but is there a way to contact another Substack writer without putting it in their comment section? Thank you!
Great advice, Anne! I look forward to your posts every week and appreciate your collaboration with writers, I always learn from you and from them. Can’t wait for your new cookbook! 📕 ❤️
Wonderful interview! Thanks for the excellent tips on how to grow on Substack. I am about to start publishing and look forward to reading more of your posts and learning more about Substack and cooking great food.
Excellent. I just started up in June and only have--or maybe I should say, I'm stuck on 33 subscribers and can't seem to get any more. Reading this was helpful, and insightful.

Thank you for dispelling the myth that social media is the key to building a readership.

Very interesting insights on collaboration. I especially liked doing roundups of other Substacks you like.
Great post and safe advice. I loved our post exchange, Anne! Let’s do another.
