Dear Writing: Share your writing with us
An invitation to share your writing with the Dear Writing and Substack community
Dear Writing friends,
This week, I’ll turn 52. In celebration and gratitude for my 52 years on the planet, I’d like to offer something to you, my Dear Writing paid subscribers.
Would you like to work with me on shaping a piece of your writing? Is there a piece of writing that you’d like to share with our Dear Writing community and with thousands of readers on the Substack network?
I know that you are all talented writers and story-tellers. Some of you may be thinking about taking the leap and starting your own Substack, or submitting your work to publications but, for all kinds of reasons, perhaps you don’t feel quite ready.
Some of you may be primarily interested in writing privately, for yourselves, and yet you have a story or a fragment that you’d love to see shared, without committing to anything further.
Some of you might like to ‘test’ an idea on Substack and find out what others think about it.
Some of you might have some writing that you already feel proud of and you’d just appreciate some feedback to help you to make it shine.
Whatever your ultimate aim for your writing, I’d love to support you.
I will work with you over email on shaping and crafting your writing before publishing it on Dear Writing during the coming months. (We’ll agree the timeline together.) I will include a short bio about you — and, of course, you can also include links to point people towards any further work that you’d like to share.
If you’d like to send me some work, or perhaps write some new work, I’m including some further guidance below.
I’m so sorry that, at this point, I can only offer this out to paid subscribers. I hope to be able to do more of these call outs to everyone in the future.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and working with you and your writing.
