Announcing the fellows of Substack Creator StudioWelcoming 10 new fellows, plus details of our video creator masterclassToday we are pleased to welcome 10 new fellows to Substack Creator Studio, a program for the next wave of video stars. Applications flooded in for the new Substack fellowship, ranging from seasoned video creators to successful Substack-natives to enthusiastic newcomers. Adam Faze of short-form-television studio Gymnasium and a panel of five judges from the Substack team selected 10 video creators based on their existing web presence, the quality of their work, and their interest in subscription revenue as a business model. We also took care to compose a diverse cohort, including a vintage-fashion researcher, a citizen journalist, a natural-hair-care expert, a music historian, and more internet celebrities who you’ll meet below. The 10 fellows are starting to work with the Substack team and Adam Faze, turning their video talent into fresh Substack concepts. On Substack, the creators own their email lists and can post whatever they’d like, unencumbered by fickle algorithms. Instead of relying on brand deals for income, they will now be able to earn consistent income from paid subscriptions. “I applied for this program because I wanted to move away from the unsustainable social media model of constantly feeding the algorithm, ads, and mindless consumption,” says Gabi Jones, a vintage-fashion curator with more than 1.6 million followers on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. “Being part of Substack will allow me to create high-quality, meaningful video content that deepens my connection with my community on a personal level and allows me to share my passion for education and vintage clothing..” Since we could offer fellowships to only a small group, we are hosting a masterclass for video creators looking to monetize with paid subscriptions. The masterclass will take place virtually on Zoom, on June 20 at 10:30 a.m. PT.
