Substack community and programs
A comprehensive support structure for independent writers.
We offer writers an ecosystem in which they can do their best work. When writers have the right support and infrastructure to maximize their talents, everything else falls into place.
“I have never felt this supported for my work ever.”
– Pranjal Saxena, Chitti
Access to a community of peers.
Independence loves company. We bring Substack writers together so they can help each other, collaborate, and learn together.
Writer stories
We publish interviews and stories that help writers get to know who else is writing on Substack.
Substack Go
The support system writers need to build momentum. Participating writers set a foundation for publishing regularly alongside peers.
Special assistance for independent writers.
We’re recreating some of the support structures that are otherwise disappearing from the media landscape.
Tech support
Our world-class customer service team takes care of both writers and their readers on Substack, offering both tech and billing assistance.
Resources in your inbox
Publishing best practices from fellow writers that will help you develop a successful paid publication.
Legal support
The Substack Defender program provides advice to writers who face legal uncertainty or pressure because of their work.
“One of the underrated features of Substack is that it has a support staff that deals with most technical and billing issues. People who run their subscription newsletters through other platforms say having to do their own customer service is a nightmare.”
