Hi, I’m Nan Tepper. I want to tell you a bit about me and the services I offer.
I’m the creator of STYLEYOURSTACK:
I’m a writer, first and foremost, but I’m also a web + graphic designer with more than a decade of experience. My favorite people to work with are writers. It’s a specialty for me.
I design logos, brands, and websites, and I’m good at it. Besides having tech and design skills, I spend a lot of time asking questions when meeting with potential clients. I dig a little deeper than some, to learn about you and what your priorities are for your stack. Am I a coach? Yeah, I guess I am. Do I have a lot of opinions? Oh…YES, I do. And it delights me when you want to hear what they are.
My aim is to demystify the process of publishing on Substack, and helping you understand and utilize the tools available to you. These tools will allow you to do the thing you’re actually here to do.
If you prefer, I can lay out and schedule your posts, curate photos, and teach you about recording audio and video to add value to your publication. That will free you up even more to get back to the business of writing, which is why you’re here in the first place. You certainly don’t need my help with that!
I’m here to make sure that while you’re writing and publishing, you look good too!
Services:
Logo, cover/welcome page, and wordmark design
Branding
Branded Calls To Action (CTA)
Backend instruction: how to post, add audio and video to your stack.
Front end instruction: how it works. I can show you how to use Notes to your best advantage.

The perfect photo selection for each post so people will want to read more!
Need a Virtual Fairy? If you don’t want to do it (the backend stuff, the logo, wordmark, cover image, post set-up), but you need someone who does want to––and can––call on me!
I’m sure there’ll be other things, and as they arise, I’ll add to this list.

A little more about me.
I started working on my first newsletter, The Next Write Thing, in January of 2024. I publish a weekly personal essay and have fallen in love with the Substack community. It’s become a hard habit to break, so I’ve decided I don’t have to.
I’d like to spend all of my time on Substack doing the things I’m good at––writing and designing––and supporting writers in achieving some of their goals. In the process of settling in here, I’m meeting a lot of Substack writers who don’t know how or where to begin. I’ve worked with several clients already, helping them identify their visual message, their brand––I love brainstorming newsletter names––and I’ve taught them how to get their newsletters up and running.
And for something completely fun, take a gander at this video I made a while back, when my hairstyle was a little different. My pal Franco Vogt, the amazing NY-based portrait photographer helped me execute the concept. It’s dedicated to my love of eyeglasses and being silly!
