I post once a week, on Friday, to everyone and once or twice a month, usually on a Wedneday, I post an ebook or something for my paid subscribers. Once a week on Friday seemed manageable but having one of those posts being only for paid subscribers ... well it seems to work best to do a separate post for paying subscribers. I'm doing what works within my own schedule and so far it seems to work for my readers too!
Thanks so much for the mention! I used to be a 3 times a week poster over on Instagram, but after a while it got too tiresome, so I switched to 1 day a week here on Substack. It's all about being willing to experiment and figure out where you're comfortable. And thanks for the nice list of Substacks that I can now explore 😁
Thanks, Erica! I publish non-fic on Mondays and fiction on Fridays, though the time of day varies so it's possible that time zone shenanigans tips it over onto other days sometimes for you.
I landed on this pattern mainly because it was what I could manage. I've always done weekly fiction and wouldn't want to go faster or slower, and 1 non-fic per week is the limit of my capacity for that.
My particular cadence is more to do with my writing preferences than audience considerations, TBH! :)
You caught on to my hidden purpose! lol Shh! Let's keep it between us. Soon we'll be taking over Substack. Wouldn't want to reveal my secret plans just yet...

Thanks for the shoutout! And especially thanks for introducing me to other, terrific Substacks.
