Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I'm new to substack and so I'm soaking up info like a sponge. It's so easy to find people who wax lyrical and tell you their success stories, but hearing Amran talk about his challenges so openly was much more helpful. I loved the advice - sometimes I struggle to see the wood for the trees, even though I have a lot of theoretical knowledge about marketing, so I related to the mistakes Amran made that felt so obvious to him once they were pointed out. I also liked that he has some great pointers to add from his time on Substack. It felt like a mastermind more than a typical 'Here's where you're going wrong' session. Brilliant, thankyou both!

This was a very helpful exchange for me to think through my own newsletter. I am in the same squad as Amran I think. I write about everything with no clear lane that would attract a certain type of subscriber. I'm a bit of a "bob-and-weave" when it comes to driving. My goal is to share my essays broadly to show my range and interests, not to exist in any one space. Amran and Jane, having this discussion and coming to the conclusion that it's ok to be wild and free with your topics if that is indeed the point, was affirming for me. Thanks, you two! @RachelBS

Value has to be tease and marketed, which is part of the hard part of being a novelist because copywriting isn’t your main thing. That’s the hard part about demonetization, you have to be a one man show.

Watching this in replay, but right off the bat, I'm wondering if Ream might be better for someone writing acerbic fiction.

I'm not familiar with Ream but I'll check it out! Also, the "acerbic fiction" is a small percentage of my portfolio, so overall I'd say Substack is the right place for this newsletter.

I do think Ream is a fantastic emerging platform for fiction writers, especially those who already reach their readers in some way.
