Writers are often told they need to “build a platform” — but what does that actually mean? Taught by the author of the popular Substack, "Write More, Be Less Careful," this masterclass will provide practical advice on starting and growing a newsletter that supports your broader goals as a writer. We’ll address developing your newsletter’s niche and style, creating a content calendar, and keeping up with your newsletter without letting it take over your writing life. The session will be interactive, with opportunities to try out key ideas. You’ll leave with clear takeaways and a plan for how to launch your own newsletter.
All registered students will receive 30 days of access to the recorded session.
Instructor: Nancy Reddy is the author of The Good Mother Myth. Her previous books include the poetry collection Pocket Universe and the anthology The Long Devotion: Poets Writing Motherhood, which she co-edited with Emily Pérez. Her essays have appeared in Slate, Poets & Writers, Romper, The Millions, and elsewhere. She writes the newsletter Write More, Be Less Careful about why writing is hard and how to do it anyway.
