Dog-Eared is a Sunday newsletter that explores death, grief, literature, and memory. There is also additional weekly content for paying subscribers: Wednesday’s Process Diaries, Friday’s Things I Love, and extra [BONUS READS] sent periodically. Paying subscribers also gain access to the entire archive There are three tiers available: monthly ($5/mo), annually ($50/yr), and founding patron ($75/yr).

As a writer, paywalling certain posts feels counterintuitive to my overall personal philosophy—that art should be freely accessible and open to everyone—but as I carve out my own freelance career, financially supporting Dog-Eared provides me the opportunity to create a more intimate community between myself and this newsletter’s readers. I will, however, comp 2 paid subscriptions for every 25 that I receive. If you are interested in having your subscription comped, please tell me here.

An important note: Substack newsletters tend to end up in spam or junk folders! If you want to be certain you don’t miss any updates, make sure to flag Dog-Eared so that it is sent to your primary mail folder.

Finally, this newsletter’s logo is by artist Maia Gawor-Sloane. I am fortunate to have her onboard as my house designer, and you can look forward to seeing more illustrations and graphics in my essays from here on out. You can see her full portfolio here.
