It’s December 13!
Today is the 224-year anniversary of George Washington’s death. RIP, George, and thanks for inspiring this iconic poolside hairstyle.
More importantly, today is the day I outline what you can expect from this newsletter in 2024. (This’ll be quick, I swear.)
What free subscribers can expect in 2024
1–2 public posts per month. These will generally focus on my own experiences in the publishing industry (see this post for the vibes)
A new section I’m calling YEAH, BABY, YEAH. It’s a roundup of my favorite things, and it’ll appear in all free newsletters. I had originally launched this as its own paid sub-newsletter—Trinkets—but I don’t want to gatekeep little treats; also, I’ve realized that nobody wants to hear from me twice a week. It’s too much!!!
Commenting rights on every post. This also started as a paid privilege, but publishing is already isolating enough. I want to hear from you!
What paid subscribers can expect in 2024
I am *so* grateful for those of you who’ve invested in this newsletter. I think we have the potential to build something really cool here, so I’m beefing up paid benefits in 2024!
As a paid subscriber, you’ll receive the following:
Pump-up playlists on the second Tuesday of every month. They look like this.
Exclusive interviews with creative folks who are making it work. I’m wrapping up a free interview series this month; moving forward, we’ll have one paywalled interview a month, and they will be VERY juicy. We’re talking income. We’re talking healthcare. We’re talking work-life balance and everything in between. And yes! I will be asking people how much they make!!!!!
What I Made // What I Paid: On the last Tuesday of every month, I’ll release a paywalled post outlining *exactly* how much money I made from creative work and *exactly* how much I paid in taxes. I’ll also include occasional guests who are willing to share this info. (Comment here if that’s you!)
lose yourself (medievally),
