Substack offers a platform for writers of all kinds to form a direct connection with their readers—and for readers to financially support the writers whose work they love. Whether you’re a journalist, an essayist, or a literary writer looking to monetize your blog or newsletter, you might find Substack to be the perfect fit for you. In this 30-minute webinar, Money Matters host Erin Lowry chats with Linda Lebrun about using Substack and the various strategies you can employ to create a consistent revenue stream from a regular audience of fans.

A Q&A will follow the presentation; you can pre-submit a question when registering for the event. A recording will be made available for those who cannot attend live.

The event will take place via Zoom with automatic closed captioning. To request any other accessibility features, please email support@authorsguild.org and we will make every effort to accommodate.
