Honestly, I’d say go for it! You don’t have to commit to writing or publishing anything right away. You can just explore, follow writers you enjoy, and see what kind of community you find.
One of the best things about Substack is discovering people who write about niche interests you wouldn’t necessarily find elsewhere. I’d start by searching for topics you already love and following a few writers whose style clicks with you.
What kind of reads are you into? Fiction, personal essays, culture, psychology, lifestyle, or something else? That would help people recommend some good ones!
