The Substack Success Podcast

The Truth About Building a Writing Career in 2025


Listen Later

Rufus Griscom’s Substack Author Insider is one of the Substacks I read or listen to/watch every single week. We’re so inundated with AI-generated slop about creativity, writing, and publishing. Author Insider is all about integrity and brings us real cutting-edge ideas and glimpses into the future of writing and publishing.

This was such a fun conversation. We talked about AI and the future of books, Rufus’s beginnings at Nerve.com and Babble, the changing landscape for writers, including the decline of general nonfiction sales, the importance of building email audiences over social media followers, the evolution of podcasting economics, and all the incredible interviews and insights Author Insider brings.

I highly, highly recommend subscribing. Substack Writers at Work get 25% off through the end of the month with this link.
