What's coming in 2026...

I’m so glad to be with you right now and tell you everything that’s coming in 2026.

Substack is crowded—and will continue to get more crowded.

It’s not enough for you to get Substack content/posts/strategies about how to use Substack.

You need more guidance in less time. (We all need everything in less time.)

That comes from you learning from me as a teacher, a professor.

2026 has been mapped out strategically as a curriculum.

That probably sounds very dry—like crackers—but lesson plans and guiding your growth are way sexier than giving you information and strategies in a void.

I’ve made this your all-in-one spot where I take you from someone piecing together their Substack growth to someone who is on a clear path, knows who they are and what they’re doing, and feels like they have a roadmap for the next year—and years to come.

This is for you if you just started on Substack or have experience, if you’re just beginning to build your platform or already have a platform and are bringing it to Substack, if you’re established in your career or changing careers, if you want to feel like I can do this or Substack is still worth my time or Substack is still a very viable place for me to scale.

Plus:

Become a paid subscriber any time, but I recommend starting now.

The paid subscription is $110/year (~$9/month) or join monthly for $12/month.

If you can’t read every post and workshop (or, for Premier members, office hours and calls), that’s fine. We have highlight reels and concise written posts to keep you up to date.

I’m so happy you’re here.

All our best,

Sarah & the boys (the cats)

*I’m happy to comp a 3-month paid subscription for anyone truly on a fixed income. Renewals available. This applies to paid subscription only.
