    Apr 21 2026

    What if one of the most effective ways to grow your audience as a writer is something you’ve probably overlooked—or maybe even dismissed as outdated?Before social media took over everything, writers built their platforms by showing up on other people’s platforms, guest posting and contributing.

    And guess what. That strategy? It still works!

    Grace Thomas is a writer and podcaster who has written for dozens of major publications and Substacks—and this has helped grow her robust email list and her reach–outside of social media. Today, we’re talking about how guest posting actually works in 2026, how to pitch your writing, where to find opportunities, and how to turn someone else’s platform into real, lasting growth for your own.
