Here are some of the latest collaborations we’ve spotted, including guest posts, guest features, Q&As, and interviews. We hope they will inspire writers who are thinking about reaching out to do so.
Joan DeMartin from Crimes and Punishment on rising housing costs (How Will Millions of Americans Keep a Roof Over Their Head?)
Kate McDermott from Kate McDermott's Newsletter on chance meetings that lead us to home (Tea, Travel and Pie), and Michael Reed from Holy Wr*t! on how nomads- and others who move a lot- know what home is even when they haven't found it yet (Abraham Searches for Home). And I have 2 more lined up for May and June. All very different takes on HOME. So wonderful!
Crime and Punishment is honored to have hosted Audrey Hood from the The Civic Librarian just this Saturday. And Jan Peppler from Finding Home republished one of my posts about a month ago. I’m sure all three of us would appreciate your shout- out here. 😎 And I just hit 100 subscribers yesterday! ❤️
I would love to collaborate with others on this great site, particularly since I'm a cartoonist and illustrating for other authors would be a blast. My Substack is about my syndicated comic strip, PreTeena, and I discuss what inspired the gags - which also allows me to comment on current trends and events. Anyone interested is welcome to read my Substack, check out the PreTeena strips, or have a glance at my Instagram for my very wide variety of styles. --Allison Barrows
I've just started cross-promoting a few days ago by swapping guest posts with another Japan-based writer, Sean Michael Wilson. I'm also planning a cross-interview with Kana Chan who lives in Japan's deep countryside. But I'm open to collaborations with people who have nothing to do with Japan. I think we can always find interesting points of contacts and opportunities to collaborate even when we cover very different subjects.
I've also just hit 100 subscribers, which makes me happy and eager to do even more. Stay tuned!
If it's a newsletter to which I subscribe and I see a chance to collab with, I mail them and see what happens. My record so far is 3 OKs, 3 NOs and 1 still uncertain.
You have probably been just unlucky. I've had my share of non-replies. I guess some people can't be bothered to write back. Good luck with your next tries!
Amazing thanks for sharing Gianni! Can you share Sean's publication link? We actually have something coming here soon from Kana—what an amazing writer she is! I love seeing these collaborations across the world. Please share with us what you do with them!
Sean is a very prolific writer who mainly works with comic artists and illustrators.
In the next few days I'm going to send Kana the first couple of questions of our interview/discussion. Actually, she is coming to Tokyo this weekend so I hope to meet her soon.
Sure, it looks like we have some similarities. I talk about philosophy in our popular culture. Spirituality is something that I have touched on a little but not in depth. I’ve talked about the importance of believing in the common good and perhaps the closest piece is a show called Warrior Nun.
I’ve also done some stuff about shows involving aliens.
Grateful to Makenna Rasmussen for coordinating with me to set up a collab between Virtual Humans' The Splice and ICYMI, a newsletter for and about influencers!
Nice to see the grass-roots collaboration so many writers immediately tried get a spotlight from Substack. I've been lucky to collaborate with Joseph W. Knowles (who writes "The Tidewater Papers") for a long, ranging transcribed interview: https://kevinlatorre.substack.com/p/christian-themes-talk-joseph-w-knowles?s=w
Next up, I'm interviewing William Collen from "Ruins, Ruins, Ruins" (https://www.ruins.blog/) for a June article. We're fans of each other's work, and so talking out just makes sense.
President of the United States of America, Steven Lewis King here. I need help getting to Washington DC. These crazy polical southern people got me held against my will.

Hi - I'm definately gonna follow up on this. I'm sending you the email right now!
Amazing!
I collaborated with 3 Substack writers so far:
Joan DeMartin from Crimes and Punishment on rising housing costs (How Will Millions of Americans Keep a Roof Over Their Head?)
Kate McDermott from Kate McDermott's Newsletter on chance meetings that lead us to home (Tea, Travel and Pie), and Michael Reed from Holy Wr*t! on how nomads- and others who move a lot- know what home is even when they haven't found it yet (Abraham Searches for Home). And I have 2 more lined up for May and June. All very different takes on HOME. So wonderful!
That's amazing! I love it when the themes/formats/templates are cross-pollinated into something new and wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!!
Terrific! 😃 More great ways to collaborate!
Been appearing as a guest on other Substack podcasts and interviews, highly recommend it and I am open to it if anyone else is interested.
Hi - I'd love to find out more as I'm definitely open to it.
If there is a fit, happy to do cross promotion/collaboration.
Awesome. This is my first collaboration. What should we do in terms of next steps?
Email me info@shaungold.com
Done!

Congrats Joan!!
Thanks!
Yay! Congrats on the 100th subscriber goal!!
Thanks!!! On to 1,000!
That would be FANTASTIC!
My current goal is to reach 350 by July and 500 by the end of the year. 🤞💪
Smart to break it down into smaller chunks!
well these numbers even seem like a stretch - but hopefully doable. If I surpass, then I can be ecstatic instead of disappointed.

Congrats on hitting 100 subscribers. How did you find someone to collab with? I've sent out loads of messages and I'm not getting a response.

I've sent several emails and don't get a response. I use the Substack email address and not sure if it's going through.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to keep trying.
Congrats too on hitting 100 subscribers!!!!
Merci very grazie!

Sean's publication is A to Z of Anything https://seanmichaelwilson.substack.com/
This is my guest post https://seanmichaelwilson.substack.com/p/the-last-picture-show?s=r
And this is the piece I featured on my newsletter, Tokyo Calling

Sounds like some good work. I’ve done a few collaborations with fellow writers and it wasn’t that bad. I wouldn’t mine doing more of it.
Hi Andrew. I'm open to collaborating if we can find mutual ground.
Sure, it looks like we have some similarities. I talk about philosophy in our popular culture. Spirituality is something that I have touched on a little but not in depth. I’ve talked about the importance of believing in the common good and perhaps the closest piece is a show called Warrior Nun.
I’ve also done some stuff about shows involving aliens.
It's sounds like we're a good match. I've not done a collaboration before. What would be the next step?
We should email each other and discuss the details. How we want to move forward and perhaps the topic of the collaboration.
Great. You can reach me at info@sheilaprycebrooks.com.
I’ll send you an email on Monday probably with the headline about Substack collaboration.
I first met Corey Hutchins in the Subsrack Go when we wound up in the same break out group. We have since done a joint interview that he used on his news behind the news in Colorado substack and I used a recording for a podcast episode on the evolution of local journalism here in Colorado on my Colorado Switchblade. https://www.coloradoswitchblade.com/p/we-are-going-to-see-a-lot-more-independent?r=lav9v&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=direct
Corey and I still talk often.
Here’s his great substack:

Wow it's so cool to be featured together with so many great authors 🤩 Thank you Substack Team! ✨🙇♀️😊
This is not only genius---it is very, very, very do-able.

Knowles (who writes "The Tidewater Papers") for a long, ranging transcribed interview: https://kevinlatorre.substack.com/p/christian-themes-talk-joseph-w-knowles?s=w
Since then, we recommend each other (follow him here: https://josephwknowles.substack.com/).

Thanks for sharing Kevin, this is so good to hear and see!
Also, according to the live ISS Satilite feed on YouTube as of last night. The middle east is on fire ...

Collaboration in writing is indeed intriguing. My writing is esoteric and probably irrelevant to everyday life. How can collaboration work for me?
