What's included

What you will get

Three things every subscriber gets — beyond the weekly letter.

Early access to courses and workshops

Workshops

When a new cohort opens, subscribers get the link two weeks before anyone else — usually with early-bird pricing held just for the list.

Occasional discount codes for the shop

Discounts

Not every week — maybe four or five times a year. Usually 20% off kits or paired-bundle pricing on books and courses.

Resources we keep just for the list.

Resources

Templates, working files, the occasional draft of something we're still figuring out. Things we don't publish on the site or social.
