Summary

How your Substack posts land in your reader's inbox matters more than you think. In this live, I walk through what your subscribers actually see when your post arrives, how to find out where you're being read (email, app, or web), and why creating a familiar, consistent post structure is more important now than ever. I also cover what's working with images, why stock photos can devalue your writing, and how to think about your opening lines so readers actually want to stay. https://www.substackwritersatwork.com/ This is a public episode.
