Hello lovely subscriber. As I slowly try to get my head around the ins and outs of Substack, I thought I’d try somethings new: the Pen and Spoon subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I’ve set up exclusively for my subscribers. It’s a group chat involving people who have a common interest (in food! my newsletter! food writing). As a journalist who specialises in food writing, I’m genuinely interested in learning more your interests, opinions and priorities when it comes to food.
I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app (not email, you’ll be very happy to learn!), so turn on push notifications to join in conversation when they happen.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
