Thank you for your steady support for writers. Believe it or not, you are rare. Most writers are so busy pitching their writing course, I miss whatever wisdom they might provide. I enjoyed Medium when I started with them then stepped into the partner program in 2018. I lost track and interest in the confusion and changes when Coach Tony took over as CEO in the middle of 2022. That's when I discovered Substack. You got my attention with the Boost program.

Thanks Georgia! I would probably make more money if I tried to sell classes all the time, but I find it distasteful. I prefer to offer actionable advice and hope that my readers sponsor me because they find value in my work. That being said, I believe Kristina God has me scheduled to teach a class with her in February. If you have some pitches for good stories, please send them to me in a direct message. If it's something I can use for one of my publications, I'll certainly help you polish them off so I can nominate them for a Boost. Medium has some advantages over other platforms. Boost is the best way to get a solid return on anything you write :) Thanks for your kind words!

So, Walter, I am going to rework some of my political/personal essays over the weekend, since I will be able to get off the merry-go-round for a few days. How do I submit to you for review? How do I pay you? Maybe you’ve already said this. I apologize if so.
