Shoutout Thread 📢

Calling all teachers and educators

This week, we’re taking a break from Office Hours for our regular Shoutout Thread.

We host Shoutout Threads because we know writers want more ways to discover great writing on Substack, and we’re always looking to celebrate writers who are finding a home here. Today we invite you to share what you’ve been reading and inspired by recently on Substack in Notes.

How to participate

1. General thread 📢

   We’ve posted a note from the

   Substack Writers
   account. We encourage you to reply with a shoutout for another writer you’ve been enjoying on Substack. Use @mentions so the writer is notified and others can easily find their publication. Bonus: Quote a favorite line or passage from a recent post. Highlight text from the post and restack it as a note. Be sure to @mention
   Substack
   so we see it.

2. Calling all teachers and educators 📚
   Are you using your Substack as a tool to teach a skill, craft, or discipline? We’re excited to see experts, academics, and writers using Substack to spin up courses and learning communities.

   Lenny Rachitsky
   has built a community of over 437,000 product managers getting smarter about how they work.
   Robert Reich
   is publishing his Wealth and Poverty course using videos plus complementary Office Hour discussions.
   Alison Acheson
   helps writers develop their craft at an MFA level for the price of a monthly subscription. Share your story and let us know about the teachers on Substack you admire in today’s thread.

For the next two weeks we will be on summer break from Office Hours. We’ll resume Office Hours on June 22. We encourage writers on Substack to find ways to take some well-earned days away from the desk and recharge their batteries during the season too. Here’s what we’ve learned from writers who have paused their publishing flow.
