Hi Karen, I’m a newbie and fumbling around in the app to date. Do you know if/how my subscribers can have an account for readers vs authors/publishers? Does such a thing exist? If so are there instructions I can share with them?
A Substack account allows you to be a reader or a writer, or both, with one account per email address. There is no difference between a reader and a writer account.
Substack prompts you to start a publication when you first get an account, but you don't have to do that, you can just skip the process if you only want to be a reader.
If anyone does not have a Substack account but wants to subscribe to your publication, they just type their email address into your signup form and Substack will create an account with it.
Thank you
