???? Exciting News: Writing Workshops Dublin 2025! ?? We're thrilled to announce our 2025 Writing Workshop in the heart of literary Dublin, featuring Christine Pride, Tawny Lara, and Alyssa Songsiridej! This intensive week of workshops, craft seminars, and one-on-one conferences is designed for fiction and nonfiction writers ready to take their craft to the next level. With no more than 10 participants per workshop, each writer will receive personalized feedback on two completed pieces of writing—one workshopped with your cohort and instructor, and one in a one-on-one session with your workshop leader. Our daily craft talks, led by our esteemed faculty, are open to all participants and will delve deep into the craft and business of writing. Since 2016, we've been committed to bringing your writing out of the wilderness and into community. We can't think of a better place to do that than on Ireland’s east coast at the mouth of the River Liffey. ??

The more you understand where your newsletter is situated within the #Substack landscape, the more potential there is for growth.

We’re Living in the Newsletter Era It's 2024, so we're not just living in the Age of Substack but the Newsletter Era in general. Newsletters are providing writers with an owned media channel, and for some, it brings in extra money, perhaps a living wage, or even life-changing exits. You can use your newsletter to not only help brand yourself as an author but also develop a body of work around a specific topic. It can be hard to find a full-time job as a beat reporter on a topic you have a lot of interest in but limited bylines. But on Substack, you can carve out your beat without permission from anyone else. Read the full pep via link in the comments.

Linear, traditional narrative is fine, but why settle for fine... Why not write stories that reflect our fractured, shattered, post-narrative world? Stories that don’t travel in a straight line - they circle, they digress, they skip ahead, they doubt themselves and disappear, the show up six months later and swear the whole thing was a fever dream. Join Amber Sparks for her Fractured Narrative Zoom Seminar: Shattering Traditional Story Structure to Create New Stories this Saturday, April 6th. https://lnkd.in/gPAjJpP5
