Why I’m Moving My Writing to Substack

For years, I’ve shared my thoughts on publishing, authorship, and book development here on this blog. But over the past year, my work has shifted.

I've become less interested in tactical publishing advice and more interested in the deeper strategic questions:

• What makes a book commercially viable?

• What separates a competent manuscript from a publishable one?

• How should authors think like editors before they write?

Substack gives me the space to explore those ideas more fully, so going forward, I'll be publishing exclusively there.

This blog will remain live as an archive, but new writing will appear on Substack.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you'll join me in the next chapter.
