Midstack February Meetup and a Share Thread

Join us for our February meetup and share a recent Post or Note

Our free monthly meetup of midlife women writing on Substack will be a little different this month.

We’d like to invite you to our first Show and Tell.

Normally during our meetups each writer has just a few moments to introduce herself and her publication, and that’s been amazing. I love seeing all of your faces and hearing snippets about all the incredible things you’re doing on Substack.

This month I want to go deeper with several writers by taking a closer look at their publications (sharing our screens) and learning more about their journeys.

After you register for the meetup, you’ll be taken to a form for you to volunteer to be one of the writers “showing and telling” about their Substacks. (Filling out the form is entirely optional, of course! You don’t need to volunteer to “show and tell.”)

This might include:

• showing how you’ve chosen to design and layout your publication

• telling us the origin story of your Substack

• showing us a post or series of posts that you’re proud of

• describing challenges you’ve had during your time on Substack

• telling us about what’s going well

• sharing the “back end” of your publication and telling us about your Substack’s growth

• anything else that might be inspiring or useful to other midlife writers!

If you register, you’ll also be sent a recording, if you can’t make the meeting time and would like to watch afterwards.

I’ll contact you by email by Wednesday, February 19th if you are chosen to be one of the writers who will “show and tell.”

I’m looking forward to hearing your stories and learning from you!

If you haven’t yet submitted your Substack to be included in the Midstack Directory of midlife women writing on Substack, please submit it HERE.
