What's included

• Connecting brands with people and culture

  Hiya 🤗 Build the letter you love writing, commit to a creative practice, and open yourself up to opportunities. Newsletters are one of the few assets you own, not rented land. Intimate - a 1:1 connection and a conversation yet scalable. The engine of your business and you get to help a lot of people at scale. Substack is built for organic growth—still the best way to build a real audience that feels connected to you. Play with powerful publishing tools and get inspired by a vibrant, collaborative community. Whether you're a solo creator or a brand, I'll help you turn your letter into the most fun—and fruitful—part of your business.

  A focused 30-min Zoom call to get you going or unstuck. Ideal if you're just getting started on Substack or have been here a while but are publishing inconsistently. What you get: 1:1 call + notes. Investment: £75. Book your call: https://nikatalbot.io/work-with-me

  Meet your writing wingwoman. Async writing & publishing support via Voxer.* For one week, you can send me voice notes or messages as questions come up—drafts, ideas, wobbles etc. You can use it to work on: • Your Substack Hero/About post (voice & vision) - the compass for your content planning (here's mine); • A key newsletter/blog post; • Audience-building - your Notes strategy. Collab with me - Substack Live interview or a guest swap (we write for each other). What you get: • Async feedback throughout the week (I check Voxer regularly during office hours GMT—you work on your time); • Editing, structure, and strategy support; • A human thinking partner. Fun, friendship, collective solidarity. Perfect for founders and busy writers who don’t want more meetings. Latest Voxer Week: helping a freelance journo launch a local news blog on Substack; plus guidance on social media publishing "in these crazy times." Investment: £300 *Voxer is a free messaging app that allows you to send audio, text, photos and videos securely - unlike WhatsApp you don't have to share your number.

• Brand Partnerships

  I'm open to long-term brand partnerships for my letter and LinkedIn, so we can meet your goals and grow together. I've been mentoring journos via the NUJ & City St George's Uni, writing blogs for the Portfolio Collective, Media Voices, and the Digital Creator Association, and helping the Media Society launch on Substack.
