Ship 30, audience-growth operator

Dickie Bush co-founded Ship 30 for 30 alongside Nicolas Cole, a cohort-based course in which participants publish 30 short essays in 30 days to compound audience growth. The programme has enrolled tens of thousands of writers and popularised the 'atomic essay' format as a low-friction entry point to digital writing. Bush is also active on X (formerly Twitter), where he shares frameworks on writing systems and audience-building.
