New Perks for the Hollow's 1st Birthday!
What's new for 2024 in this neck of the woods, and a report on last year
Dear Friends,
The Hollow is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary! Hurray!
In its first year, the Hollow has:
published 99 posts
reached subscribers in 48 states and 31 countries
grown by 625% in its subscriber base
achieved a higher than 60% average open rate
reached an average of more than 12K views per month
commonly included conversations of 30 or more comments on major posts
received formal recommendations from 27 other Substack publications
YOU are a big part of the reason that the Hollow is thriving and can support such wonderful (in my opinion, at least!) conversations.
So, thank you!
I am so very grateful for the nearly 1000 free subscribers who support my work through their reading, shares, and comments alone, and so I am committed to keeping the majority of my posts at the Hollow available for free.
In honor of this one-year milestone, however, I would like to do MORE.
So, this month I am adding some new perks to paid subscriptions here for those who are able to pay for the excellent premium content at the Hollow and support my work financially.
The Hollow’s new Premium Perks for paid subscribers include:
All of my free posts
One monthly paid-only Quick Book Notes post on a little-known but fabulous piece of children’s or other literature
Occasional additional paid-only posts as paid subcription levels grow
Access to all of my archived posts, including those older than six months
Annual subscriptions are 10% cheaper than monthly subscriptions (which are still only the cost of one latte per month!)
If you are already a paid subscriber (thank you!), these perks will be available to you immediately, starting today!
What would you like? Let me know in the comments or by e-mail!
If this sounds like fun to you, click below (on either “Subscribe now” or “Subscribed”) to subscribe or upgrade!
Want to do more?
You can sign up for a Founding Subscription on the normal subscription page, or you can send a gift subscription to a friend or family member or even donate a subscription by clicking below:
Or you can just share the Hollow! That helps, too!
But most importantly, whether free-subscribed or paid-subscribed, just keep reading!
You are very, very welcome here at the Hollow!
Questions or thoughts? Lave a comment or e-mail me.
Here’s to a great 2024!
Wow! What fantastic growth! Well done for working so hard and fostering such good conversations.
Congrats on a great year! I've so enjoyed meeting you here in the Stacks.
