ROAD TO 1,000

So close, I can taste it.

I have a really ambitious goal right now: I’m trying to get 1,000 paid subscribers by June. Why June? Because my agent and I are pitching my memoir, Eating Alone, in June and I really want to be able to say that I have over 1,000 subscribers.

I currently have 929 paid subscribers and I’m trying to get 71 more to help me reach my goal. I’m offering 90% of your first month at beyond beurre blanc, for a total of $.70, until I reach my goal. Help me get there?!?!?

You’re receiving this email because you are a free subscriber to beyond beurre blanc. Unlike most of my peers, I keep most of my content free, like all my culture content, my reviews, and my new go-to order columns.

But so much of the fun stuff is behind a paywall. Becoming a paid subscriber gets you access to pieces like these.

If you become a paid subscriber today, you help fund my work, but you also help me pitch my book to publishers. To be able to say that 1,000 pay to read my writing means a better shot at a book deal.

When you become a paid subscriber, you are telling publishers that people will pay to read my work. That directly translates into book sales.

I’m 100% funded by people like you who believe in the kind of gonzo food writing I’m putting out. I’m so grateful for all my subscribers, paid and free, and I know that not everyone has the budget to fund my work, which is why so much of it lives outside of the paywall. I want you to be able to read my writing, whether you can afford a subscription or not.

If you believe in what I’m doing and have the discretionary income to become a paid subscriber, I’d love if you become a subscriber today to help me reach my goal!
