Writer Office Hours 📅

Have questions about publishing, growing, or going paid on Substack?

The Substack team, and your fellow writers, are here to help! Our team will answer questions and share insights with you in the threads today from 10 a.m.–11 a.m. PST / 1 p.m.–2 p.m. EST. We encourage writers to stick around after the hour and continue the conversation together. 

To help organize conversations, we’re opening two discussion threads to explore distinct topics. Jump into a thread to join the conversation most relevant to you.

• Subscriber referrals: Existing subscribers are the best marketers for your work. Now you can reward them for spreading the word about your Substack with this subscriber referrals. This is a new tool in your toolbox to grow your audience. Here we’ll answer any new questions as you get set up and swap ideas for how to use subscriber referrals effectively. Join the thread.

• Academics on Substack: Over the past month we’ve shared stories and insights from a number of academics, intellectuals, and public thinkers who publish on Substack. In this thread, we invite academics to gather and share the strategic ways they are using Substack to expand their ideas and reach. Join the thread.

We’ll host Office Hours again next Thursday. Save it to your calendar so you don’t miss it.
