Greetings, friends!
Thanks for joining me over here on Substack. I’m still acclimating to having a bajillion buttons to press: I can make footnotes!1 I have detailed analytics! I can leave paid subscribers a secret note in the comments! But it’s way more functional than my old newsletter host, so hopefully these dispatches will look a little more professional going forward. No more uncontrollable font color changes or stupid formatting glitches.

A quick briefing for the uninitiated before I get into the actual content:
Collective Lit is an umbrella that includes this newsletter, Sit & Write, and Sit & Read. All of these things are free, though tips and/or paid subscriptions are always appreciated. Free subscribers can upgrade their subscriptions at the bottom of this email, if desired.
Founded in 2019, Sit & Write is a drop-in coworking group for creative writers. We meet on Zoom most…
