From Beginner to Expert: Live Session with Award-Winning Author Sarah Fay

You've probably stumbled into a writer's bear-trap before and are happy about some guidance.

Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to host a live session with Sarah Fay from

inside the "Online Writing School” for paid members.

Sarah’s journey from a beginner to a Substack expert has captivated and inspired many—including myself.

If you’ve ever questioned your newsletter journey, this session is for you.

Many of us struggle with similar issues:

  • Naming our Substack newsletter: your title matters!

  • Not “getting” Notes: it’s changing a lot, and we must adapt.

  • Adding audio or video: it’s a new era!

  • Thinking about the “right” paid strategy: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Building relationships and/or community: both are so important on Substack.

  • Embracing our voice: reframing helps to see your weaknesses (e.g. being a non-native) as superpower

  • Not knowing where Substack is heading: it’s changing from a platform for writers to a platform for creators of all kinds.

  • Becoming a featured publication on Substack: it’s the pinnacle of success on Substack and rather an art than a science but there are some examples to follow.

If you're nodding along, feeling a resounding "YES" and "AMEN" to these struggles and questions…
