Your A-Z of Sparkle on Substack Membership ✨
Hi, I’m Claire - I’m an Engagement Consultant and Mentor and I’ve been teaching creatives who also write about Substack since February 2023.
Here at

We lean into experiments, I share what works for me and my clients, we explore what’s possible and how Substack fits with our ecosystem. It’s a tonne of fun and there is so much potential for you too.🌟 The FREE Sparkle on Substack Podcast is here and not catalogued below.
