This month, Substack is going on a virtual tour to help connect writers exploring similar topics together.
The Substack category tour will act both as a meeting place for writers to connect directly over Zoom, and as a showcase for the wide variety of writing happening on Substack within a given category. Today, we are visiting stop 1: the Kickoff with Kate Lindsay, Embedded.
Participate in today’s thread:
We’ve pinned a few comments to kickstart the conversation. Please introduce yourself, let us know what you’re looking forward to from the tour. You can also share any reflections on Lindsay’s advice column.
Special shoutout to Liza Donnelly who create the illustrations to accompany Kate’s advice column. Check out her Substack, Seeing Things: https://lizadonnelly.substack.com/
I'm Jamie from the UK and run a Substack called Drink To That which promotes drinks from all over the world and blends them with a mixture of pop culture and philosophy.
I write about Chinese culture and thought after living in China for over 20 years and speak and read fluent Mandarin. I have a unique perspective of the Chinese culture and philosophy. Thank you. :)
I'm Penny! I'm a writer, mom, and English professor in SC. I write Mourning Pages about grief and loss (among other things). Also, if I don't have my camera on during the Zoom meeting, it's because I'm eating Pop Tarts in my pajamas: https://pennyzang.substack.com/

Hi everyone! I'm in the UK and I missed yesterday's tour kick off because I fell asleep.
It was the end of the day here and I was shattered! Woke up this morning pulling my hair out :(( But I hope to meet some of you in my category stop tomorrow (Business). I'll just make sure to load up on enough redbull.
I wonder if there might be a recording of yesterday's session for lost cases like me? :)
Sorry I had to jump from the meeting to attend to a client issue. Eesh. I'm glad you are recording this. I too am happily using Substack to post my cartoons and podcast: https://erflynn.substack.com
I also look forward to the comics category chat on the 25th.

Hey, why Substack security email / team does not respond? Why they are fixing reported issues, but without even single thanks ?
