You don't know how happy I am to find you on Substack! (I rarely visit the dumpster fire that was once known as Twitter, and so I lost track of you for a bit)

I tried to research the most popular social media platforms for fantasy readers on Pew, but maybe I'm not using it correctly. I got confused and overwhelmed and came away with no answers. What I am doing though is trying to connect with other fantasy readers (#fantasyreader, right here!), through YouTube and on Instagram. I'm new to TikTok and looking for fantasy readers there as well.

All that being said, I do have a fantasy-themed newsletter here on Substack where I talk about all kinds of things related to the genre. I have a lot of fun with it.

Anyway, SO glad to find you here. I've subscribed, so hopefully won't "lose you" again!

Hi lovely! Thank you for subscribing and connecting here. I'm still on X but focused only on my own topics and groups - avoiding all the dumpster fires (hopefully)!

I'm quite enjoying the setup here so let's stay in touch 💜

I'm trying hard to hit all the marks here. 90 days out and working on everything I can. Will bookmark this to review this weekend and compare with my plan.

CrimeReads published a story about a successful indy author who was rejected endlessly and got lucky with a book trailed video that went viral. I dunno if I can attribute any of that success to anything but luck. I don't wanna be lucky. I want to have a smart process. I mean, sure, I guess I won't turn down luck, but winning the lottery isn't for everyone.

Thanks for putting this stuff out.
