Getting Around
Navigating the VIP Readers Club
Welcome, Dear Reader, I’m glad you’re here.
I use substack to send out newsletters by email, but it’s so much more than that.
Substack is also home to my magazine-style blog, and there you can find everything I’ve posted.
The homepage is divided into various areas , and I hope that makes it a pleasant experience to browse. There’s also a menu with links to my Notes, and certain types of content such as Bonus Content.
At the moment, almost everything is free, but I do record some behind-the-scenes videos for paying members, and the chat feature is also for paying members because I want to make sure it stays a safe space.
I hope to deliver value to my readers, and if you think that’s worth supporting, please consider becoming a paying member of the club. I appreciate everyone who can do this. I’ve applied a permanent discount to get around substack’s minimum pricing, and please note that an annual membership works out cheaper again:
If you can’t afford to become a paying member, but you’re keen to support me in other ways, e.g. spreading the word about my books or giving feedback for my work in progress, subscribe for free then reply to one of my newsletters and introduce yourself. I can then gift you a membership.
Finding Your Way Around
The posts are also divided into sections, and each one can be sent to you as an email newsletter. At the time of writing, there are two sections: The VIP Readers Club, and In No Particular Order. The former is for all my photos and book news, the latter is for longform writing such as essays.
You’re in Control
You can easily choose which posts you receive via email, and here’s how to do it:

Look for the Notifications heading. It looks like this:
Click on the switch icons to turn each section on or off.
That’s it. You don't need to save your settings.
Of course, you can go back and alter them at any time.
I hope that helps.
