Wanna learn more about growing an audience on Substack (and get a free copy of a book on open-source software communities?!)

Wait, how are these two topics even connected, you ask?

Let me explain:

There are a variety of technological and cultural factors currently reshuffling the dynamics of online creative communities (open source software communities among them) and driving the rise of platforms across the Web. Substack is one of those platforms. So is IndieHackers :)

If you're interested in learning more on this topic (plus learning how to grow a newsletter audience on Substack), join me this Thursday at 11 AM PT/2 PM ET on my show The Digital Campfire Download with guests Nadia Eghbal and Packy McCormick.

Nadia oversees writer experience at Substack and is the author of the new book Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software (Stripe Press), which examines the evolution of open-source software development across the Web, in particular on platforms like GitHub.

Packy is the founder of the Not Boring Club and the Not Boring Substack newsletter, an incisive and always entertaining semi-weekly report on the intersection of business trends and culture that has ballooned to 7000+ subscribers in a short time via several crazy-smart growth strategies.

FREE BOOK ALERT: Stripe Press has generously agreed to give away a free copy of Nadia's new book to everyone who joins the Download on Thursday. Join live to find out how to get yours
