April newsletters bring May subscribers (Part I)
Today I’ve got a list for you: 50 newsletters that first posted on Substack in April 2021!
I’ll have another list of 50 tomorrow!
If I had more time, I might have found 500 more.1
At some point, Sub Pub might have enough paid subscribers to fund a full-time search for all2 the newsletters, plus categorization and associated social media accounts too!3

If I’ve missed a newsletter and you’d like to see it in an upcoming list, please let me know in the comments or by email.
Perhaps hyperbole or, as with the image, Hyperbole and a Half. 😁
“All” also might be hyperbole. But with enough funding, I could find pretty close to all!
Finding interesting newsletters / potential subscribers to your newsletter would be a useful perk of paid subscription, don’t you think? (I’ve hidden a 30 day free trial offer here, valid for the next week, to test whether anyone is reading the footnotes. I’ll offer another discount soon, which anyone who takes the free trial may also use.)
I’m able to find almost anything (as long as it’s legal to do so and the thing exists 🙂). And that’s not hyperbole. Among other things, I was a reference librarian for over a decade.
