Hi KD,
I got here through Steve's cross-post. Also new to Substack, only been here a couple of months, so I'm just learning about the community. I was using another blogging platform but this one works a lot better! I also read your Oct 7 post, which gave me a sense of where you are coming from. I might not have checked out the cross-post except that the title clicked with me: I have dedicated almost all of my writing the past six months to women in music, and a majority of my posts since I started writing are about women. If you want to see some examples, check out my page or go to my "about" page which has some links. https://zapatosjam.substack.com/about. Thanks!
Hi, I tried to cross post this piece to my subscribers and it’s showing as 0% opens which makes me think that either there’s an issue with Substack or you have turned off the cross posting option in your settings. Can you check? I am going to, send Substack text Support a message as well.
I’ve been following Neko Case’s Substack for a bit. She is such a great writer and her almost diary-like entries give readers a peek into her inner workings. I wish I was independently wealthy as I’d be a paid subscriber for all 40 or so Substacks I follow, but alas my dog walking biz won’t allow for that. I tend to post twice a week (usually Monday/Tues and Thurs/Fri) so I’ll cross-post on Monday for maximum reader views. It’s a fine line, I find, especially with most of my subscribers not being Substack writers, to keep them engaged and not annoyingly spam them.
This is such a great piece I’m not sure where to start. As a writer who dreams of being concise I want to say simply, ditto. But that feels inadequate and a bit of a cheat. Reading it felt like you transcribed my jumbled brain but made it into something cohesive and literary. Proof that all these strong, unique, talented women don’t only appeal to their own gender. If you’re OK with it, I’d like to cross post this on my earworm Substack. I’ve been meaning to try out that feature and your piece seems the perfect post to test it out.
