So, Substack… I was really disappointed and annoyed by the company’s response to the racist, hateful content on the site. As an author on the platform, I now have some thinking to do. But please can folks not put pressure on indie writers to immediately quit; most of us are just trying to get our work out there in a tough market, we have put a lot of time/effort into the platform, and maybe trying to earn a bit of money if we are lucky. This really sucks. But as I say, I will ponder my options.
