How can I choose a leaderboard category for my Substack publication?

Categorizing your publication helps others discover your writing through search and discovery surfaces on Substack. 

To add categories to your publication:

  1. Sign in to your Substack account and navigate to your publication's Settings page.
  2. In the Basics section, select from the drop-down menu what you think your publication is about. For example, Culture or Travel can be two categories you can select.

Note: These category selections are considered requests. Substack takes these preferences into account in creating and displaying our leaderboards, but we maintain the right to adjust inappropriate category assignments.
