Goood morning and welcome to Letters from Emery!

EXCITING NEW UPDATE

I’m officially introducing: Emery Hour, a regular open forum and direct chat where we can all convene, connect, get to know each other, discuss letter topics (and the like), and generally speaking, get real and raw.

Setup takes less than 1 minute and after you’re set up, you’ll be able to interact with, and participate in our community chat thread whenever you like!

HOW-TO

To participate in the chat, you will need to:

Download the Substack app HERE
- Note: the app is available on iOS & Android, but the chat feature is only available on iOS (Android coming soon)
Be subscribed to Letters from Emery on the Substack app.

Once I start a thread, you can participate by tapping on the Chat icon on the Substack app (bottom-middle).

Substacks you subscribe to will appear showing the most recent threads.

Tap on a thread to start interacting with the writer and other readers. You can reply to any thread with text and/or an image as well as react to other readers' replies.

You can also tap on another reader's message to react or to leave a reply.

How am I notified about Chat?

You can select which Chat push notifications to receive. To turn off or turn on Chat notifications, follow these steps:

1. On the Substack iOS app, tap the Profile icon and then the Settings icon in the top-right corner.

2. Tap "Notifications" and on this screen, toggle on or off what push notifications you'd like to start or stop receiving.

New threads: When a writer you're subscribed to starts a new Chat thread.
Replies: When other readers leave a reply in a Chat thread.
Reactions: When readers emoji-react to your reply.

Who can see my replies?

Any subscriber of the publication will be able to see your reply in a Thread. If they react to your message, you'll see a notification in your Activity section (click on the bell in the top right corner of the app).

Again, setup should only take 1-2 minutes to get setup and you can get started HERE.

I’m so looking forward to connecting with you, the Emery Tribe, on a more direct, real, and raw basis.

Thanks so much for taking the time, and I’ll see YOU in the chat.

Sincerely,

-Emery
