This really resonated with me. Publishing a book taught me something I wish I’d understood years earlier: a book doesn’t create an audience—it reveals whether you’ve built one. That’s why I’m investing more time in conversations than promotion. The readers who discover your work because they already trust your voice are far more valuable than any launch-day spike in sales.
As usual - very good advice. Here's a question I've been struggling with. I think I have a couple books in me. I'm considering using substack articles to begin writing those books. Do I run a risk in losing the intellectual rights? or someone stealing my idea? or worse - someone taking my writings and publishing the book without me?
Thanks! Glad it resonated. That’s a very good question and the honeys answer: I am not sure. I would say that I never saw this happen, the community here is very open and it’s a good thing to put your chapters. I would ask a question to another author who did this to see. Thanks for your question.
It basically is a series or articles on the same thing… I’m considering it as a way to actually get me to write it. lol sitting down to write a book is daunting! An article not as much.

Do you want a bigger audience for those books?
