No. 0 — Welcome
You may remember when I launched a newsletter in early 2021 with grand plans: I wanted to have a place where I could share in depth about what I’m working on, have conversations with friends, and custom design it all to my heart’s desire. I made it through exactly three of these newsletters before I realized it was too complicated to keep up.
Enter À La Carte, my new, bite-sized weekly newsletter focused on three things:
A creative suggestion: tips and thoughts around creativity, the job search, personal branding, being in a rut, and the like. Sometimes these will be from me and sometimes from special guests.
A personal recommendation: something I’m reading, eating, listening to, wearing, burning (a candle usually, but maybe a baked good), visiting, or drinking.
Someone to know: an artist whose work I love that I think you’ll love, too.
Starting next week, paid subscribers of À La Carte will get a newsletter in their inbox every Friday morning and free subscribers will get one newsletter per month. Paid subscriptions cost $5 a month (or $1ish a week.) Every now and then I’ll pepper in something fresh for paid subscribers, too, like an interview (OG newsletter subscribers will remember the one I did with Cate from Ecstatic Voice) or a longer form essay.
I know there are a lot of subscription newsletters out there, so I promise to keep it affordable, consistent, and interesting. I’m most excited to open up the comments section on each week’s post, because I think it’ll be fun to hear your creative suggestions and recommendations and people to know, too.
I’m excited about this, thanks for being here!
