Let’s Sparkle on Substack…

✨ a.k.a - find, grow and realise what light you up long term so you can be a beacon for your beautiful work and attract your right fit readers, paid subscribers and cheerleaders!

ā€œClaire is the Queen of Substackā€

Selina Barker

Sparkle on Substack is a publication and membership by Audience Development and Engagement Consultant Claire Venus ✨ Claire is a Substack Expert and Mentor who has been teaching about the platform since 2023. In 24/25 she was an official mentor for Substack and the Writing Chance Partnership.

I’m so glad you’re here…

Sparkle on Substack explores what it means to be writing and creating right here on Substack in real time. I’ve been here since April ā€˜22 and have had such an incredible journey as a creative who also likes to write.

My ā€˜Stay Creative on Substack’ posts were so popular I made them a whole Substack publication home to live in and created a membership of supportive colleagues for you to work and grow with!

Come on in…

ā€œClaire has been so incredibly supportive since I joined Substack a year ago and what Claire doesn’t know about Substack isn’t worth knowing, she oozes information and is so generous with all the free resources that she shares.ā€

More from me here in my šŸ’Œ Welcome Letter šŸ’«

Sparkle on Substack was born out of a feeling of expansiveness, of possibility of promise that this platform treats us so so much better than social media ever did. Yay! šŸ‘ø

Claire has a beautiful energy, sense of community and shares great resources here for the growing creative, both on Substack and in the 3D.
