An update for Foreign Bodies subscribers
Hello, all! Some housekeeping:
First of all, welcome to Substack. I’m slooowly transitioning out of the old CMS, primarily because I prefer the interface and public- and free- subscriber options.
And on that note…
I wanted to let everyone know that Foreign Bodies will remain free for subscribers through December 31, 2019, thanks to a yearlong fellowship grant from The Carter Center. But to realistically sustain a thoughtful, quality product for readers from then on, I’ll need some help covering research, writing and domain costs.
In 2020, subscribers will be asked to give a small monthly fee (between $1 to $3) to support this newsletter. In addition to our monthly letters, we’ll be hosting some fun subscriber-only giveaways, too.
But why wait? :-)
To recap:
Free sign-ups get the full experience through Dec. 31, 2019. After that, non-paying users will have very limited access. (#sadface)
Paying subscribers get the full experience for 12 months at $3/mo or $33/yr.
Give a little more: Get the full experience for 12 months at $4.95/mo or $54.45/yr.
What do I get when I subscribe?
You get every post (not just the occasional free ones).
You have access to all surprise giveaways.
You can peruse all issues in the archives.
You have the ability to participate in subscriber-only comments.
You’ll be supporting us, our team and helping us touch a life or two through storytelling.
All that being said, this newsletter was created to help fellow immigrants navigate their mental illness and feel a little less alone in this big bad world. So if you're a student, or if you find the cost in any way prohibitive, email 4nbodies@gmail.com and we’ll figure something out.
Have thoughts or concerns? Suggestions? Cute dog pics? Please never hesitate to share. In the meantime, tell your friends and family about us. Let ‘em know why we’re worth keeping around.
