Today I bring you some behind the scenes of running an anti capitalist business as a writer, teacher, and artist. I am finding that while I have been at this practice for over a decade, as platforms and systems shift I have to shift with them. I have to be mindful of where manipulative practices sneak into my marketing techniques. And so I thought I would talk about the blessing and the curse of the paywall in a newsletter format.

From 2012-2021 my newsletter was a form of marketing and creative play, a place not to make money as a project itself but to tell you the other ways that I might offer you something that you might buy. A book, a class, a 1:1 session, a workshop, apply for a residency, etc

In 2021 I moved my newsletter from Mailchimp to Substack. I talk more about this here and you are welcome to give it a listen
