Have you ever considered that Virginia Woolf was an indie author? Hogarth Press was created by Woolf to publish her own books, and had Substack existed in 1917, she would certainly have been on it, exercising her artistic freedom, using it to try out new work, serialising her novels, and so much more. Now, you too can do exactly that. In this masterclass with novelist and Substack champion Eleanor Anstruther, you’ll explore the joy and freedom of publishing online. She’ll open the door to Substack as a resource in alliance with mainstream publishing, a place to build a sustained writing practice, connect with readers, find community and take advantage of the opportunity to be seen by industry professionals. Join Eleanor as she guides you through the process of creating your own Substack publication, from identifying your DNA, writing your first post, sharing the fear of pressing “publish”, through to the technical aspects of this online publishing platform. This is where the party is. There are no gatekeepers. Come on in.
