Can't deny that!

Great news! You continue to impress me, Substack. Time to contact a few of my fellow dark ambient music writers to discuss possibilities. And kudos to you for giving a home to freelancers laid off due to California’s AB5 law.

Updates are almost exactly what I have needed. I will say, It would be great if the admins could assign a specific post to a contributor (byline-wise).

This is already possible. You can add admins and contributors via your settings page. Each person added becomes a byline you can choose to append to any post.

Hamish, can contributors have access to edit *without* having access to dashboard and everything else? For example, if I send a contributor a draft link, could they edit and save changes?

Expand full comment

At this point, no. But you can send them a secret link (available in the post's settings) that will let them see what the post will look like on the web once it's published.

That's what I've been doing, yes! We use Google docs to make edits right now.

Assuming this contributor is listed as public without admin view.

Yes! And multiple bylines, too. Would love to give guest writers access to edit posts without giving them the entire dashboard, too.

Exactly. Or even to be able to just create a post myself and then put the name/image of guest contributor. Currently, I'd like to go back and retroactively assign the correct byline.

You should be able to do that latter part. If you invite some folks as contributors, you'll be able to go back and assign their bylines to past posts.

Actually, it looks like you can do what I asking, sort of...

Congrats! One thing that will be cool is if one day you add support to data visualization!

Ok, but you should help the writers to create groups. I would be happy to be part of a publishing team, but I don't know who is interested in teams like me. Not to mention that the writers not using the English language are just a few, and Italian language even less than a few. Anyway, if anyone is looking for a member of a English team of writers please contact me at Armoniadelleforme@gmail.com
