Literary writers are drowning out here in Substackland
Join the weekly SMLTA Literary Notes Amplifier so we can support each other’s notes, newsletters, publications, events, or literary activities.
The weekly Send My Love to Anyone Literary Notes Amplifier will be posted on Mondays and open for a week.
Send My Love to Anyone is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support this project, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
SMLTA Literary Notes AmplifierI got the idea from Notes Boost Challenge which she hosts every Friday and has been doing a daily challenge for the past two months.
I’m trying one for SMLTA subscribers focused on all things literary—from anecdotes and daily musings to literary events, writing tips, and newsletter publications.
Support other SMLTA writers by liking, sharing, or commenting.
Ensure that you actually are engaged with the work you are sharing. This is not a tit for a tat but an opportunity to connect with literary people with whom you feel some connection.
New Note or Old Note - Doesn’t MatterThe note does not have to be a new note. It can be an old note. Notes work differently on Substack than on other social media outlets.
Often notes will get traction weeks after they are posted.
While we’re getting started let’s keep it to three notes per week per writer!
GuidelinesWRITERS in the comments below, copy your note and a link to the note. You can find the note link by clicking on the three dots in the right hand corner of the note.
AMPLIFIERS please don’t engage with the note in the comments (that defeats the purpose), click the link and engage with the note itself.
If you post a note, be sure to like, comment, or reshare at least three other notes.
The idea is that we are helping the writer get their note some traction on the Notes app and by doing so you are also helping yourself get traction.
This will be particularly helpful for small or independent press literary writers who are drowning out here in Substackland!
Let’s try it!
