I was delighted by this extensive profile of me and my work in the NYT. They note I’m a Substack writer in there. It’s good to see that Substack people are breaking through into the mainstream media world like this.
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
In one good week on Substack, I have made the same amount of £ as the total advance I was paid for my book Sabotage (in 2019).
I love writing books, and will keep doing it, don't get me wrong; but this feels…. like a rather interesting turning point, as a writer/author working today.
