I have recently set up a Substack page, which is a deeper dive into my life as a writer and editor, focussing on my own writing and the books I’ve helped other people to edit and publish.

At first, I wondered why I should set up shop on Substack, when I’ve got a perfectly good blog here, but it’s also a good way of building up a mailing list and my “platform” as a creative person and hopefully start to build a fan base before the launch of my third novel Field Values later this year.

Lot of my friends and creative associates are starting Substack pages or blogs or whatever it is! There’s also a whole new world of social media and other online ways of promoting oneself to explore, as I have finally deactivated my X account.

Probably the best way to tell people that I’m a writer is probably just to tell them when I meet them. ‘Hi! I’m a writer. Please buy my book.’ But that gets a bit boring after a while, both in real-life and online. However, I’ve got lots of stories up my sleeve, so I’m sure I will keep you entertained.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about, just click on this link. I’m still figuring out how it all works, but hopefully you’ll enjoy what I’ve written so far. https://annegrange.substack.com/
