I immediately subscribed to this--all of these tips were so helpful! As someone who like to draw and write, I resonated immediately, but mostly what spoke/sang to me about this was your collaborative spirit. Thank you!

I've tried to answer these questions about my own Substack. It's quite hard to be succinct about what you offer, to whom, and why. I'm still working on it, but with every post I read, and with every workshop I attend, I get a little closer to honing it down for subscribers and potential subscribers. Thank you, Sarah. And so good to see your work @bethspencer!

Thanks for this peek behind the curtain! I love seeing how other writers articulate the value in their work, and seeing how their offerings reflect that. Definitely taking notes.

Beth is the nicest and the wisest and is doing so well, and those three things are definitely interrelated. She is a truly winning creative combo, the kind that can change the world. I welcome the BethSpencering of everything. Bring it on.

So happy to have found you here and can’t wait to dive into some drawing time together! I have wanted to offer my substack readers zoom calls where we create art with our children, but haven’t yet… but this may just be the nudge that I need so thank you in advance!! Happy drawing!! Oh… and I love the whole screen time thing!!! 😋

Beth’s Substack was the best thing I discovered last year! She really makes everyone feel welcome and the live sessions are fun and full of insights.

This advice is spot on. Fellow introvert and a multi-passionate artist here. I often feel like I should narrow things down, but that's not who I truly am. I came to Substack, not to reinvent myself, but to be me, write and read words that I enjoy, and find a community of like-minded people. This was a great article and very inspiring.
