I am just now working on my "Introduction." Wondering--does it go on my About page or my Home page? 🤔 The short of it is--I have written a narrative nonfiction and I am seeking publication for that. Signed up on Substack to become a part of the community, and that's sure what it feels like it is. My posts on the stack give the flavor of my writing while not revealing the book's whole topic. 📖

Nice to meet you.

Hey Shell. Nice to e-meet you too:) I would out your "introduction on your About page. Here's a good breakdown of some really strong About pages. It'll give you some ideas. It's SO HARD writing about yourself: https://jenbaxter.substack.com/p/whos-your-about-page-really-about

Oh wow, I didn't know you were a photographer. That's so cool. I'm going to use this space to give you a Shoutout . . . Special thanks to @Jen Baxter, The Skillful Scribbler, for her brilliant tutoring. She walked me through setting up my Substack page step by step, sharing her knowledge, expertise, and experience. I recommend Jen for you or someone you invited to join who may need some help getting started.

Thank you so much, and you're so welcome, Sandy. I'm so glad you're sharing your wisdom here. I know Beauty from the Inside Out is going to help women see themselves differently.

Happy to follow! I'm a full time writer, wrote my first book at 21 (I was found by the publishers and signed based on my journalism work) and now I'm making a go of Medium/Substack after 15 years as a professional writer/jouranlist. I followed you because I saw you were on Kristina God's list of substacks! Such an interesting history you have - I can't imagine just going to Bali but I admire you for doing so. I'm a homebody, my life changed dramatically with COVID when my family business closed, my freelance writing clients dried up, and I started experimenting with writing online. Now my life looks a lot different but I'm enjoying meeting interesting folks online. Nice to 'meet' you and I look forward to following you!
