Hello pals, The Rectangle has some big news: we’re going premium! That’s right, paid subscriptions are now live.
First things first, don’t worry. The newsletter you know and love will remain free, but this new premium tier will allow you to support The Rectangle and keep it going for years to come.
There are a couple reasons for this.
Firstly, I don’t want to put the newsletter behind a paywall. It should be open for as many people as possible to read, but, if you’re able, you can be part of ensuring it remains available to our entire community.
Secondly, as a writer operating in an increasingly tough media landscape, it’s important that I can earn a little bit from The Rectangle to keep the lights on.
If you are able to upgrade to become a premium member of the community, you won’t just receive a warm feeling of satisfaction, you’ll also get some special, subscriber-only writing.
Beyond those articles, I have a series of ideas that can be put into action if enough people get paid memberships, running from a dedicated Discord all the way through to podcasts.
It’s an exciting new era for The Rectangle, and I really hope you can be part of it. To do so, click below and sign up for a premium subscription. It only costs about as much as a single pint a month, which, coincidentally, is the best thing to read The Rectangle with.
Appreciate you all, lots of love, and we’ll chat very soon. Until next week!
