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.

• New Substack writers and creators: If you are new to Substack, ask your questions about getting started and meet other writers kickstarting their publications. If you’re further along, stop by and share your sharpest insights about growing on Substack. Join the thread.

• Going paid: Writers often ask: when should I turn on paid subscriptions? If you are ready to do so, or curious about testing the waters, we’ll discuss strategy so you can have a successful launch. Join the thread.
