Your comments about pronouns are on point and will make me consider them more carefully in the future. However, you made one glaring error that caused me to comment out loud in disbelief. (I’m alone.) “It’s” is not possessive. It’s a contraction of “it is.” The possessive of “it” does not contain an apostrophe. That is just one of the little exceptions we proofreaders have locked in our brains.
Thank you Sarah. I'm glad to hear you will be offering one and two day intensive workshops. I can't wait to join. Thanks for the pronoun tips as well. Very helpful.
Sarah, regrettably I can’t afford the courses at the moment but I do appreciate your candor. I’ll take all of the suggestions under consideration. I have suspected I may be doing some things incorrectly. Be safe and be well!
With tags, groups and sections it can feel like too much flexibility.
Part of the beauty of Substack (and previously Medium) is that someone else has constrained you to decent design choices so that you can focus on your writing.
Tech question: I love the layout for multiple topics. How do you create stylized headings and how do you center them? I have yet to find a left, center, right justification tab!
This was so helpful. (Kidding about using THIS). What was helpful was your friendly reminder about overusing pronouns. I often use the 'find' feature in Word after writing a piece and type in a pronoun. Sometimes I get a cringe-worthy number of times I used a certain pronoun and know it is time to go back and clarify.
I have a question: Can you have too many Groups? Is there a magic number that will perk interest but not overwhelm?

I noticed this too and thought, Sarah's going to kick herself when she sees it.

You can create them in Canva. You’ll want them at least 800-1000 px wide to ensure they don’t get pixelated. :)
The groups vs sections was news to me - thanks for sharing that! Can't wait to dig in!
Thank you, Sarah, this is very helpful 👍
The video was helpful! I had set up sections when I truly wanted 'groups'. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah - I believe I signed up to get the emails but they haven’t been coming.
The emails for the notes boost challenge. Sorry about not clarifying that.
It’s the same for me
Thank you, Sarah. It's a huge challenge for beginner. I will reread this: Repetition is a mother of science.
I’m very interested in the writers at work studio ☺️
Wow! This additional post is awesome and so helpful. TY for sharing the nitty gritty and the quality all at once!
This is very useful
I have sections and want to combine into one. How do I delete one section? I want to focus on one substack only.
