A quick note, and then back to the regular writing.
Read the Terrain has been growing one reader at a time, mostly because someone who already subscribes mentioned it to someone who needed it. That word of mouth is the only reason this publication reaches the people it reaches.
So I have set up a simple way to make that easier, with a few thank-yous along the way.
If you share Read the Terrain and people subscribe through your link, you will hit a few milestones:
Five referrals: a curated reading list of the essays readers return to most, sent to you as a PDF.
Ten referrals: access to a monthly written Q&A, where I answer a reader question in more depth than I can fit into a regular essay.
Twenty-five referrals: a 30-minute conversation with me, one on one, about whatever you are navigating in your own work.
You will find your personal share link at the bottom of this email and on every post going forward. No pressure to use it. The writing keeps coming either way.
But if something here has been useful, and there is someone you think it would serve, passing it along is the most meaningful thing you can do.
Thank you for being here.
