Over 300 people showed up to this live recording of the Substack Live Podcast to hear Emily Farra and Jessica DeFino talk about how they built newsletters that became something bigger than the platform itself, including:
Why having tens and hundreds of thousands of subscribers doesn’t mean the Substack writer has it easy—far from it
How to create your own platform and not to be platform-dependent
Why it’s ill-advised to try to write a “genius essay” every week on demand and it’s better to create a framework you can apply consistently
Why consistency is everything—unless it’s not
And so much more…
Emily Kirkpatrick is the Roland Barthes of fashion writing—with a little bit of Stephen Wright and Tig Notaro mixed in. She’s written for People, i-D, The New York Times, and Vanity Fair, among many others. Her newsletter
is essential reading, whether you care about fashion or not.
