About us

Substack lets writers connect with their audience on their own terms and earn money doing it. We make it simple for writers to publish to an email list that they own, get discovered on the web, and charge for subscriptions. More than 500,000 people pay to subscribe to writers across the Substack network, and the top writers make millions of dollars a year. Substack’s model depends on the success of writers using Substack – we only make money when they do. “Substack makes it dead simple to start a newsletter and get paid for it.” – Judd Legum, author of Popular Information "Substack gives me a way to connect with my audience on my own terms.” – Lyz Lenz, author of God Land and Men Yell At Me Make something that matters Great writing is valuable. It respects readers' time, their intelligence, and their trust. It helps us make sense of and change the culture we live in.

    Last week, at a 150-year-old church in New York’s Upper West Side, hundreds of readers, subscribers, and fans flocked to Rayne Fisher-Quann’s first ‘Secrets Reading.’ The evening included readings from seven emerging talents in writing, who read an anonymized secret by one of the other readers—one which had never been shared before. Songs by Madonna, played by the church organist on one of the oldest organs in New York City, accompanied their walk down the aisle for each reading. Attendees called the evening “a communal release,” “radical,” and “of course, the writing was incredible, and so well performed.” Thank you to everyone who came and to all the amazing readers for sharing their story.
