I know, I know… But hear me out:

The print edition of Trade Rag is seriously limited by space. I can write more in an afternoon than I can fit into the whole magazine. The digital format allows me to do more longform pieces, short stories, philosophical-art-project-breakdowns, farcical interviews, etc.

The NewsLetter won’t be filled with ads or spammy requests to buy stuff from me, it won’t hit your inbox on a weekly-to-daily-to-hourly basis, and it won’t just redirect you to some article on a blog that anyone could read. NewsLetter is a break from all that. And I promise you, it will mostly consist of work that you won’t find anywhere else!

There will be blog-only pieces here on the website too, but I’m not going to send you a damn email every time something new goes up. I leave it to you to seek that out if you wish.

My hope is for NewsLetter to feel like a taste of what the internet used to be (and can still be, if we want it to): a simple mixture of dedication and lust for creativity brought into 2-dimensional life without asking anyone’s permission.

As for frequency, it will come out when inspiration strikes and I also have the time to piece it together. I can’t imagine that happening more than a couple of times per month.
