3 Ways To Help Your Readers Stay
A free workshop on developing a framework for keeping readers
I’m thrilled to announce a new free workshop for Midstackers led by Amanda N. Bray of The Publishing Spectrum this Saturday, June 20th at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Register HERE.
A free workshop for Substack writers who want their posts to get read, without burning out their audience or themselves.
In this workshop, you’ll learn three simple ways to make your posts easier for readers to engage with:
1. Mix up your post lengths
Not every post needs to be 2,000 words. Learn how to balance longer, in-depth pieces with shorter, lighter posts so readers don’t feel overwhelmed.
2. Be clear about what you’re asking
Are you inviting a reply? Sharing a story? Teaching something? When you’re clear about what each post is doing, readers know how to respond.
3. Connect your posts over time
Help readers see how your ideas build on each other—so they understand what you’re working on, not just what you published today.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for you if:
You’re publishing on Substack but not sure if your posts are landing
You want readers to truly engage (not just subscribe and disappear)
You’re tired of feeling like you have to post all the time to stay visible
You want a simple framework for making your work easier to read and follow
What You’ll Come Away With
A simple way to think about post variety
Clarity on what each post is trying to do so that readers know how to engage
Ideas for connecting your posts over time
This isn’t about posting more. It’s about making what you already publish easier for readers to receive.
Those who register will also receive a recording of the workshop to watch later.




Hi Jessica
I won't be able to join the workshop while it is happening, because 11.00 am eastern is during the small hours for me in NZ, but I will register and watch the recording.
Happy to restack!
