An excellent listen for any writer - whether you just started on Substack or have been writing ( and hoping to be ) published for years. Thanks, Sarah and Maya for telling it like it is.

Thanks so much for featuring my Substack in this post, Sarah! I'm so grateful to you for the work we did together. Six months on from discovering my Substack DNA, I'm still excited to write every week! :)

I've registered for Substack DNA--thank you for offering this! Do I need to have my idea fleshed out a bit on my Substack before the Substack DNA call, or would it be okay to show up with my own notes for an idea?

I have a new idea for my Substack, but was hoping to know whether it's viable before changing my (not begun) old Substack.

Bring both! Actually, what we do in the intensive may end up being a blend of the two or the best of both worlds.

I listened yesterday to most of this, and plan to catch up on what I missed today. It was excellent! 👏
