a small update: paid subscriptions are here!

what free & paid subscribers get

I’ve got some exciting news: starting today, you can support notesunderthefigtree with a paid subscription!

But first of all, I want to reassure you that if you wish to remain a free subscriber, nothing changes for you. You’ll keep getting my monthly wrap-ups and book recommendation lists exactly like you always have.

This newsletter has been completely free for around 2 years now (which is crazy) and in that time, 14,000 of you have found your way here (which is even crazier). I want to keep developing and expanding this Substack, and paid subscriptions let me put more time into it and get out the content I’m excited for!

So here’s what the plan is:

What free subscribers get

• Monthly wrap-ups

• My usual book recommendation lists every week

What paid subscribers get

• Bonus posts with exclusive content

• Full access to the archive

• Personalised reading recommendations - tell me what you’ve loved lately / what you’re looking for, and I’ll recommend your next read

• Access to vote on polls to choose upcoming post topics

Obviously, no pressure

If you want to remain a free subscriber, that is absolutely fine and thank you so much for being here. If you want to upgrade to paid, it would honestly mean the world to me and I would be so grateful for you supporting my Substack.

If you do want to go paid, you can do that here:

I recommend subscribing on Safari or Chrome rather than the Substack app, to avoid paying the extra fee that Apple charges!

Either way - I’ll see you in my next post. Thank you as always for reading and supporting notesunderthefigtree 💌
