That's really helpful, thank you. I'm still working out the details and pricing and definitely want to make sure I'm offering good value with lots of nice content at a price that isn't too high but still makes it worth my time!
I love the idea! And I think my preference is more towards something longer, like a self-contained story, once a month than a chapter every couple of weeks because, to me at least, it becomes more of an event. One of those tiny rituals of everyday joy (very much like physically buying a book 😊) in your inbox and something I'd make more time for. I love substack but I don't always make time for the stacks that publish more frequently, because I know another one will be along in a minute. Publish once a month and it feels a little more like an online book subscription, if that makes sense? Looking forward to seeing where you go with this. Good luck! 🙌
I'm still working out the pricing and want to try my best to keep it as affordable as possible - but this is my living too so it's a balance! There will still be plenty of free content via my newsletter as normal!
Completely understandable: writing and other arts should be payed for (I have been working in the arts for a long time myself). I will support you by buying your books and will be happy to read your free newsletters :)
I'm just chewing on the more money people have to spend, the more possibilities they get.
Love the idea of new short stories but would not pay £10 per month as I could buy a book for that. Maybe £2-3 per story.

Love the idea of short stories, especially based on the books you have already released. Maybe 2 a month for £5/6
I would not sign up, can hardly scratch a living myself.
