Livestream Debut on Tuesday (March 18)

M. B. Heywood's first live editorial Q&A is on the docket!

Brace yourselves, folks—I’m emerging from my comfort zone and taking Substack’s livestream feature for a spin just a few days from now. All the cool kids are doing it. But more importantly, I want to connect with y’all in real-time and find out what would be helpful to you as writers, editors, and self-editors. I always envisioned this site as the start of a community, so let’s find ways to built it and make the whole endeavor worthwhile for everyone.

I’ll go live at 1 p.m. U. S. Eastern (noon Central, 11 a.m. Mountain, 10 a.m. Pacific) this Tuesday, March 18, 2025! You’ll find the livestream by visiting Substack in the app or your web browser.

This inaugural livestream will be available to all subscribers, free and otherwise. I’ll field editorial questions if you have any. Otherwise, I’ll introduce myself and fill the space with my preferred editorial (and editorial-adjacent) topics and goings-on. And I’ll post the recording afterward for anyone who can’t make it.

I truly hope to see y’all there, as witnesses to my first-time livestreaming hiccups. In the meantime, I’ll be breaking out my office decor to remedy the blank white wall behind my desk.

Godspeed, and happy (re)writing!
