Subject: A small update about how you’ll get my stories

Hey everyone,

First, thank you for being here. Having 500+ of you who actively check in for my stories (without me ever emailing them) means a lot. You’ve been the reason I keep writing twice a week and posting Notes daily.

When I started, I promised no emails mostly because I hate inbox clutter myself, and I wanted to respect yours.

Lately, a few of you have mentioned it’d actually be helpful to get a quick email when a new story drops (so you don’t have to remember to check the app or Notes). I’ve also realized that emailing posts helps new readers discover the newsletter more easily which means more people get to read the stories you already enjoy.

So here’s what I’m thinking: starting with my next story, I’ll turn on email delivery for new posts. That’ll be roughly two short emails a week, nothing more.

If that’s not your thing, no hard feelings at all. You can turn off emails for my newsletter (while staying subscribed) in one click:

- Go to your Substack settings → Subscriptions → find my newsletter → toggle off “Email me new posts.”

You’ll still get app notifications and see everything in Notes exactly like before.

I won’t be upset if you switch it off. I just want to try this for a bit and see if it helps the stories reach more people (and makes life easier for anyone who wants the ping).

Either way, I’m grateful you’re here.

🫡 mr. a
