Hey, I started a newsletter!
A little over a year ago, at the outset of December 2024, I started a newsletter. I’ve kept it on the down low this year because I wanted to get the hang of it—and I wanted to see whether I’d be able to keep it up.
The goal was simple: A monthly update on my work, with news, announcements, and links to publications, podcasts, and blog posts, plus a round-up of what I’ve been reading. Fortunately, I already had a list of email addresses from my old Blogger site (RIP), and I’d been soliciting readers’ emails at the bottom of this website’s home page since it went live in 2022—although to what end, I’d never decided.
So I sent a sample newsletter last December, then began the monthly schedule in January of this year. This morning I sent my eleventh and final newsletter of 2025. Really it was ten newsletters across twelve thirty-ish day periods, but either way, I’ll call year one a success. The practice has become regular and reliable enough that I feel comfortable advertising it to readers.
So in this season of appeals for money, hear this modest one: Sign up for my (FREE) monthly newsletter today!
If you sign up, you’ll get nothing more or less than a monthly update on my work—amounting, most likely, to ten or so total newsletters per year. Your subscription helps me to reach readers directly in the age of Substack and Twitter (and Instagram and BookTok) and thus enables to me to show publishers that I do, in fact, have an audience.
Sign up below: just add your email address, click the button, and you’ll get the next newsletter in about a month. Beneath the sign-up button I have links to each of last year’s newsletters arranged by month, if you’re curious as to what will be showing up in your inbox.
I’ll repeat once more: If you like my work, subscribe today!
