Taking control of my writing

Thought there was a few interesting points.

I'm just starting to explore substack and actually am struggling to find the sff areas. Typing in fantasy does tend to bring up a lot of fantasy football as well as the sff fantasy.

I've never even considered using Substack to find fiction: all I read there is journalism/culture/society writing. I may have to nose around for that.

Done a little more delving and there is https://substack.com/top/fiction

Also just tried putting in sci fi and there were some hits, not sure how good they are as quitting for the night, but they are there.

Attempted to use it last year. Going back for another look. Looking search science fiction, selected publications. People or posts doesn't show much science fiction.

I'm looking into it as a replacement for my newsletter. Ran into a snag with the one I just started so just emailed Substack support a bunch of questions.
