New to Substack?

Yes, it's harder than it looks.
But it's also much easier than you may have heard!

Before you start out--or as you grow--understanding a few strategic principles will make all the difference.

So I created The Misfit Writer's Micro-guide to Understanding Substack.

    Who am I?

    I've had four books traditionally published, and I've had a long career as an independent scholar, communications strategist, and--well, it's a long list!

    It includes publishing on Substack for the past four years. I've learned a lot in the process, and this Micro-guide is the first step in my plan to share what I know--in a thoughtful, straightforward way.

    What I'm doing . . .

    I'm not selling courses or coaching right now, so you're not going to get a lot of upsell if you share your email. But I am publishing a Substack for writers who don't fit easily into conventional categories--and you'll be invited to subscribe.

    If you do, you'll find out more about my big project: a guided system for deep, creative human/AI collaboration.
