Hmm, seems I'm the first. I have just the one: https://keithoxenrider.substack.com/ where I'm serializing my Diary of a Contract Killer universe. I have ME/CFS, which makes writing (well, pretty much anything) a massive struggle. Since I felt sure I'd never have enough to do any more querying - or to finish the self publishing process - rather than simply leaving all that writing on my hard drive (and Google cloud), I figured I'd put it here and see if I could develop a fan base. Not much so far, but such is life.
I love that Substack has made the sharing of your writing possible for you! Little by little you will get there, you'll be surprised how quickly it will pile up and, before you know it, your novel will be *in the world.* Congrats on beginning the journey, and thanks for sharing it with us!
I have multiple pages, as I thought that film essays and fiction were sufficiently different that they would attract different readership. And i was right in the sense that my mostly-fiction based Substack has a small but dedicated readership
Turns out that obscure European art films from decades ago aren't hot topics for contemporary readers. Who knew? It's served nicely to educate myself in the art of film, so no regrets...
Anyway I think that after 100 episodes of these film comparisons/double-bills I'll probably wrap it up, or change to some other type of content.

and my film-essay Substack has practically nobody reading it.

Hey, excited to write for this prompt! Does the starter have to include the sentence 'If I were suddenly rich...' or can it be an unspoken allusion?
