Let’s Sparkle on Substack…

“Claire is the Queen of Substack”

Hunter Burgtorf

A publication by Engagement Consultant, Creative Mentor and Substack enthusiast Claire Venus. Claire is an official mentor for Substack and the Writing Chance Partnership.

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

My ‘Stay Creative on Substack’ posts were so popular I made them a whole Substack publication home to live in! Come on in…

“Claire 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.”
