Don’t forget Sparkle on Substack the membership is having a price rise to reflect the value of the archive and take into account new fees I have to pay. To get in at the current pricing and stay there for as long as you stay hit upgrade before 3rd April. Do it now if you’ve been thinking about it? I promise you will ADORE it here.

Hi Sparklers,

I wanted to record a little something to address two new Substack features that have been rolled out…

Enjoy my eight minute take from my cottage office here on the Northumberland coast on…

* The Rising Star Leaderboards

* The new writer bio layout…

If you’d prefer to watch you can do that here…

Two beautiful opportunities for you in May …

* (ONLINE) Join our Growth to Bestseller Challenge…

b. (IRL) - I’d also love for you to join us for Substack for Ease Day Retreat with Tanya Lynch on 9 May 2025 in Oxfordshire. Here’s more info on that. If you’d like to meet on zoom this Friday to learn more, hit reply to this email and I’ll send you the link

Let me know any questions you have or thoughts on the new Substack features in the comments below…

Sending sparkles and a HUGE permission slip for you to ignore leaderboards if you like and do your best work in connection to your readers.

Claire
