Substack, here is another idea to support your writers and their publications:

Over the last year, my husband Peco and I have had several readers ask us whether we could send out a print copy of our articles. For now we include pdf versions of our longer articles, but would like to pitch the following idea:

As many Substack readers greatly value tangible books and journals, you could offer "print on demand" publishing (the current model for this is Kindle Direct Publishing).

This could take a variety of forms:

-Substack writers could select their best posts and publish a "Best of..." compilation.

-Substack writers could offer a quartely/semi-annual print journal of their publication.

-Or best of all, readers could select articles of their favorite Substacks and create their own anthologies.

Substack could lead the analog renaissance in providing a printing press platform for your "economic engine for culture".

Readers & writers , if you like this idea, please share and let the team know :) See my note here from yesterday which has garnered widespread enthusiasm and support https://substack.com/@ruthgaskovski/note/c-65338173
