The Future of 'Letters From African America'

Paid Subscriptions vs Free Subscriptions vs Freddy vs Jason

Hi all!

Sorry to be sending more emails than usual but that’s just the nature of the new year (also, you can always adjust which posts from me reach your inbox here by selecting “account settings”).

2023 was my “figuring it out year” for this whole newsletter thing and it’s been cool to learn how much folks (“Folks?” What, am I running for office?) are enjoying Five Jokes, blog style posts like Books On My Shelf That I Hope To Finish In 2024, and the text interview series.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve finally (generally) figured it out! And I’ll keep this simple so that it doesn't get weird for you or for me.

PAID subscribers —

— may have noticed a “premium logo” at the top of their emails recently:

That means you have access to early posts of podcasts and text interviews in addition to new EXCLUSIVE blog style posts that dive deeper into topics like why Adam West is the greatest Batman of all time.

By the way, my new You Are The Genre podcast is launching later this month and it’s full of amazing conversations with Eliza Cossio, Zach Cherry, Ashley Ray, Steven Castillo, James III, Milly Tamarez, and more! The first official teaser will be made available on Monday.

One of the many things I’m hoping to revive this year is my Uncertain Life comic and if that happens, you better believe you’ll be getting early access and exclusive stuff on that end too.

And FREE subscribers —

— will maintain standard access to podcasts, Five Jokes, text interviews, and letters on the public release schedule which is the bulk of what you already enjoy.

Okay — that’s it! And it will all make more sense as the year goes on.

Hope all of your 2024s are relatively swell so far.
