Absolutely agree, I’m just looking for a platform to share my content, no desire for large followings or publication deals here 😂

Karen Rand Anderson's avatar

Same here. Well put!

Sonya Mallett's avatar

Thank you 😊

Melissa Scala's avatar

I'm in!!

Lisa Laughy's avatar

Exactly why I am here too!

Michelle Lester's avatar

Exactly this! It’s a beautiful initiative- I’m in too!

Daniel Henderson's avatar

You've read my mind!

Andrei Atanasov's avatar

Ha, this is so cool! I remember posting about this idea months ago on Notes, about how this is the year of the Smallstack. You made it happen, Robin. Thank you! How do we go about sending stuff for your perusal?

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

Start out by getting listed in the library.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9Lj-XbH9V3cexIyL0avs062XJkZ8an59v_pRQIAxKuIVmiQ/viewform

I'm working on a form for work submissions at the moment, more to come about that very soon.

Sue Clancy's avatar

Thanks for doing this!! I've followed that link and submitted to be listed.

Kathryn Vercillo's avatar

I can’t believe you’re under 1000 subscribers Sue. I feel like everyone mentions you!! But glad you are able to be listed here so more of the right folks can find your work.

Sue Clancy's avatar

Lol!! So kind of you Kathryn!! I hope Robin Taylor includes me in the list. I want to be in the company of real people doing real stuff for real reasons other than the siren song of money and fame. I want to "keep it real" and have the public part of my work be manageable.

If you can't imagine I'm under 1000 - I certainly am amazed if you're under 1000 subscribers ... but if so, I can't imagine better company!! 3 cheers for real people doing real stuff!!!! 💚💚💚

Kathryn Vercillo's avatar

I’m just a tad over 1000 so I’m not asking to be included but I followed because I want to know more of the small stacks

Andrei Atanasov's avatar

I submitted too! Hopefully we’ll be colleagues, Sue!

Hi Robin, I filled out the form and subscribed. I hope you like my "little newsletter that could" or is at least trying to! Thanks for doing this for all of us small stackers!

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

Susan, the Little Engine That Could was one of my favorite childhood books. My kids can even show you which page melts my heart every time. (Hint, it’s the food. It’s always the food.)

Susan McCorkindale's avatar

I’m going to have to reread it. I don’t recall the food! But “I think I can” has been my mantra my whole life. Well, my adult life anyway!

Robin, I'm awed at the existence of SmallStack! So smart. Brave. Needed.

I'm new to Substack and am in the process of launching. Apparently your Google doc library submission form was overloaded and retired.

I look forward to being involved on multiple levels

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

Donna, our Library will reopen for submissions later this year. It's only closed right now while we rework a few things.

Dr Donna Blevins's avatar

Great news, Robin! I subbed and shall follow

Jake Zuppa's avatar

I’m also interested in SmallStack! I would love to hear more about it.

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

So glad to have you here, Jake!

Priya Srinivasan's avatar

I’m interested in SmallStack! What a cool idea!

Dale Mahfood's avatar

This is wonderful. I appreciate you trying to help smaller publications.

JoaquinDinero's avatar

This is a great idea. Subbed.

Reda Rountree (she/her)'s avatar

I love this idea, Robin! I also am really happy you’re the writer doing this for everyone because I know how awesome you are and you’ll keep the space safe, welcoming and most importantly, inclusive.

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

Thanks, Reda! I can't wait to highlight the great content of writers and creators with small audiences. I think we're all in for a treat.

Ruby Todd's avatar

I’m so glad to hear about this—an excellent concept! Thanks, Robin.

Joleen’s Readings And Writings's avatar

Love this idea.

Bob Gillen's avatar

I’ll try it! Thanks.

Cherie Lee's avatar

Thanks, Robin! I'll subscribe and fill out the form! I'm grateful for the exposure for my smallstack, but also excited for the opportunity to engage with others who are also small. I have often wished for a way to find writers that are just getting started and you are making it so easy! Thank you, thank you!

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

Welcome, Cherie! It looks like we're already building a great community here.

Jana's avatar

Such a great and generous idea, I love small stack already! Thank you, Robin ❤️

Stephanie Loomis's avatar

Thank you!! From me and my 113 subscribers

Robin Taylor (he/him)'s avatar

113 feels like a magical number. Maybe it's even a lucky number.
