Help shape the future of Thought Couture
My dear reader,
Now that the Thought Couture newsletter has officially been live for six months, Iām considering opening up a paid tier ($5/month) in the not-too-distant future. My goal is not to change what already exists hereāI intend to keep most of my writing freely availableābut to create an additional space for readers who desire deeper connection, community, and guidance.
But before I make any decisions, I want to hear from you!
Rather than guess what you might find useful or valuable, Iāve put together a short survey to learn what kinds of extra features would actually serve you: what formats you prefer, what would feel worth paying for, and what youād hope to gain from a paid tier.
The survey should only take about 2-3 minutes; itās completely anonymous, and your responses will be essential to influencing the future of the āStack, even if youāre not interested in a paid tier at this time.
āØ Take the survey here: Thought Couture Reader Survey 2026
Thank you for reading and thinking alongside me, and for helping shape what this newsletter becomes š
Until next time!
P.S. Coming up soon on Thought Coutureā¦a walkthrough of my favorite writing exercise thatāll help you write like the greats, and a plea to choose life even when it feels unbearable. Itās not nearly as depressing as that description sounds, I swear :)
I really appreciate how thoughtfully youāre approaching this ā inviting readers into the decision instead of simply announcing a change feels very aligned with the kind of community youāve been building. It comes across less like adding a paywall and more like creating a deeper room for the people who want to stay and grow alongside the work. That balance between keeping generosity at the center while also honoring the sustainability of your writing is refreshing to see. Iāve been reflecting on something similar ā how creative work matures when community and purpose grow together ā if youād ever like to read along: https://theeternalnowmm.substack.com/p/eternal-love?r=71z4jh
