Question to the sky: I know many wonโt engage with Substack anymore for very good reasons. But is there an alternative that offers the same level of discoverability? I know thereโs plenty of other newsletter options, but what about ones that let you stumble upon related content from other creators?
Two weeks to go until SUMMER SCARES kicks off, with six weeks of horror writing workshops, feedback sessions and more! And our event schedule is now live to boot... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/summer-sca...
