A New Direction
I'm splitting my Substack into two paths: audiobooks and life
Hi! If you’ve been following my Subtack Tanya Eby Writes, you know I write about a lot of things but mainly: audiobooks, career, living the creative life, the struggles with living a creative life, and writing.
I’ve felt a lot of (internal) tension with this Substack, knowing that many readers are narrators simply looking for career advice. And then I have readers who aren’t interested in audiobooks at all. So it’s been a little bit of a struggle for me to post what readers find useful, what is engaging, and what I want to write.
I pulled back from writing about audiobooks a bit, but I missed talking about it. I think because I’ve been struggling to get gigs, I feel like (sometimes) I’m not an expert anymore. Then again, I have narrated a lot and been really engaged in the community and maybe my struggles help normalize others’. I don’t know.
I realized that what I really want in my writing is freedom to write what I want to write without confusing my ‘audience.’ I realized I could split my Substack. This way, people will only get newsletters/updates to the kind of writing they’re actually interested in.
So, if you want to read more about all things audiobooks, please follow Tanya Eby Writes.
If you’re interested in more emotional and life-centered articles, follow this Substack. I’ll be moving some of my earlier blogs to this space and hopefully this will give me the freedom to post some fiction, poetry, recipes, and all the other things I love to talk and write about.
Either way, thank you for being here. In a time where it’s so difficult to find a space to be seen and heard, Substack has made such a difference in my life. Readers like you help me feel like the work I’m doing is important and appreciated. And that means the world to me. Truly.
So, stay tuned. More is coming.
