This is a free event. If you’re here for the first time introduce yourself. Ideally, answer questions from others and engage with newcomers and veteran stackers.
I’ll start us off with a few questions/tasks:
1). What other stacks would you recommend? Share their link and let us know why you promote or love their work or what it is you’ve learned from them.
2). How do you reward yourself?
3). Have you shared SPAWN on Notes and in your newsletter?
SPAWN is Office Hours and hang out with
and our lovely crew. We’ll talk all things Substack that we love or don’t understand. The floor is open to your questions. We have a habit of talking about food and sharing if we’ve had a haircut. Well, we have to tell someone!We are live for an hour and many stay for longer. Mostly, we chat about writing and Substacking; we celebrate each other’s successes and find new readers and subscribers in the process. Before we go on to this week’s SPAWN here’s what we did last week and make sure you check the comments as there are some useful resources in there:
Time zones differ and our community is all over the world so naturally comments spill outside the live hour. You’re welcome to join pre or after hours, no invite needed. We have novel, short story, poetry, non-fiction and travel writers, podcasters, youtubers and journalists. Between us, we answer most questions.
Comment on what’s been eating you on Substack and what’s been good this week. Share your questions and achievements.
Everyone’s welcome to join the conversation. Politeness and kindness are our rules. Offer advice if you can, no guesswork and no spammers. We haven’t had anyone’s comments left unanswered so far. SPAWN is a supportive community and many of us support one another outside this weekly event.
