A high-signal, monthlong engagement for creators who want smart eyes on their Substack publication.
You don’t need a full-time strategist — but what if you had someone in your corner who could read the patterns with you?
Feeling this?
You’re second-guessing your publishing rhythm or wondering why your paid growth has stalled.
You’re watching your Substack data — but not sure what really matters.
You’re publishing regularly, but need strategic feedback that’s lightweight, fast and built for your brain.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
I’m a publishing strategist with nearly two decades of experience in editorial strategy, digital publishing and Substack data analysis. I’ve worked behind the scenes with high-profile media teams and creative entrepreneurs — and built my own newsletter from 12 readers to a Substack bestseller, with no social following.
The Strategic Publishing Advisory is my most personal, intuitive offering to date — the first time I’m offering direct, ongoing access to my strategic instinct and Substack pattern-recognition work from inside your actual publishing life.
What’s Included:
🗨️ Voxer Strategy Support: Message me on Voxer Wednesdays during my client office hours with questions around rhythm, direction, storytelling, analytics or audience nurturing. I’ll reply same day via voice or text.
🎙️ 2 Monthly 1:1 Strategy Calls: Get on my calendar two times a month to break down the progress you’re seeing — whether creatively, in your storytelling, in your business systems and more. These include a searchable transcript so you can reference and implement any ideas we come up with.
📊 1 Monthly CSV Sleuthing: Send me your Substack export once a month. And I’ll return with 3 targeted insights on timing patterns, churn, conversions or growth edges.
You’ll have a strategist, story partner and pattern-reader in your pocket — quietly tracking with you while you publish and grow.
How the Strategic Publishing Advisory Works
Step 1: Onboard
You’ll get a private Voxer line to me, where you can message me directly during the week. I’ll also guide you through sending your first CSV.
Step 2: Ask & Reflect
Connect with me throughout the week on anything publishing or storytelling related: whether you're stuck on a piece, navigating a specific Substack next step or interpreting data that doesn’t make sense.
Step 3: Dive Into Your Data
Once a month, you’ll send me your latest Substack CSV export. I’ll return 3 human-readable insights.
Step 4: Build Strategic Rhythm
This is about pattern-tracking, not performance. You’ll get clearer over time — with a grounded, experienced publishing partner alongside you.

You’re looking for strategic pattern-reading — not just tactical coaching
