Ask Me Anything about creating and developing your Substack

Tuesday 11 February 2025 6pm GMT | Zoom | 60 minutes

This is your chance to ask anything that’s on your mind about Substack - perhaps you are about to take the leap, perhaps you are already writing here and wondering how you might develop it, you might have a technical question about posting, it might be about driving people to your words, finding new subscribers. It might be that you see Substack working son well for many but can’t quite click with it yourself: whatever’s on your mind, I can help.

I run Gatherings here designed to help people with their Substack writing. There are four main ones, below:

Creating Your Own Substack - This is a general overview, an introduction to how I approach Substack and go about creating your own.

The Practicalities of Substack - Getting to know how to use it, work flow, writing, editing, posting, etc

Your Creative Home - Refining your idea, being distinctive, identifying aims, etc

Building a Community - Building an audience, responding and engaging, using social media, Chat, Notes and more.

There will be further dates for these.

Hundreds of you have attended these and I’ve been asked to hold an Ask Me Anything session for those who have either attended one of these and have some questions now they’re into it, or those who just have queries about all things Substack.

This event is free for paid subscribers.

Zoom link to register below.

This is one of the (approximately) monthly gatherings connected to the writing process that are available to paid subscribers.

To learn more about these Gatherings and why they might help you with the writing process, click here.Gatherings are for paid subscribers - I run approximately one per month - and as well as being open to attending on the day, they are available to replay after the event.

Once registered, you’ll have the chance to let me know your questions ahead if you like, or take your chances that there is time on the day.

I’ve written 14 books, written for all of the major UK papers and relevant magazines, I’ve won Food Book of the Year and Garden Book of the Year twice each, I’m a Sunday Times food columnist, with columns in a Delicious Magazine and Country Life too, and I have a bestselling Substack. I can help you navigate the writing path in whatever way suits where you are.

I run gatherings here, which paid subscribers have access to - both live and in replays after. Some are direct with me, others in conversation with people I know can offer interesting and useful insights.

If this sounds like it might be up your street, sign up and I look forward to seeing you soon.
