Interview: Elle Griffin on Growth, Publishing, Criticism, and Creativity

I’m thrilled to bring you this interview with

Elle Griffin

. Elle talks about

• building a following,

• defying traditional publishing,

• handling criticism, and

• staying creative.

She also shares her advice for aspiring Substack writers.

Elle is something of a Substack icon. In 2022, she was awarded one of 10 places in Substack’s now-defunct Grow program, which launched her Substack into the stratosphere.

(The Grow program is similar to Substack’s current Creator Studio Program, which we talked about in the “Create Connection Using Substack Video Workshop.”)
