Katie O’Connell is a Community Manager at Substack where she helps celebrate and accelerate emerging writers on the platform. Substack is the easiest way to start a newsletter and build your community (it actually powers the Workspaces newsletter that you’re reading right now!).
The night owl in her can be found making snail mail and zines for family and friends.
