What a fitting read. I was wrestling with all these frustrations this morning! Love this call out to all writers to create community and rise up against the algorithmic powers that be. Check out my newsletter, "Here, There, Everywhere", and I'd love to write a recommendation for "Pryor Thoughts". (Same goes for any other writers that'd like to turn me onto their newsletter; if I jive with it, I'd love to write you a rec!)

A good read.

I haven't had success on LinkedIn despite being 6+ months active. Now I've started to post a newsletter on Substack, and let's see if it'll get me anywhere.

Found my way here via the guest post you did on Rohan Banerjee's Substack and wanted to say hello!

I write a weekly newsletter (every Sunday) about all things bookish, writing, and storytelling over at anushreenande.substack.com which is only just finding its groove, so to speak - I'm still very much experimenting with its possibilities.

Would love to do a guest post for you. My Substack newsletter, Rocky Point, are random stories from a long life. I am trying to publish around five or six posts per week. If you like what you read, I'd greatly appreciate a recommendation!

I'd be up for guest-post exchanges. Let me know the "hot topics" you like and I will make sure to give you good intro. I write on many topics but my recent hot button is a book of fiction I just put out, "Alfred's Journey to Be Liked." The protagonist is neurodivergent but the truths and quirky story line could easily be universal. I also like humor, modern cultural peculiarities (like what happened to our attention span), and occasional history (just finished a piece for Women's History month on two amazing female neuroscientists and their discoveries). Sorry to ramble...

Hi JJ - I believe this is a good article to feature for women's history month. I'm not big enough for you to benefit from being in my Substack, but the overwhelming majority of "reads" on this have come from the Forbes magazine mention of it when they did an article about my niece, Debbie Sterling. https://medium.com/p/ba74f6ec85dc

Interesting idea. I would love to host you JJ but you would need to write a very specific topic in a satirical style of Monty python. If you're up for the challenge then drop me a line. My newsletter is the alternative Torah and your article could be a rabbinical response to the previous chapter (like the Talmud translation!). Shit...if any of that makes sense and you're still keen...

Congrats on 1000! Can I ask how many are paid...what percentage?

As odd as this might seem, Aldous Huxley's "The Genius and the Goddess" comes to mind as I contemplate your writings.
