This move is surely a bit scary now, but your readership and influence will only increase under the new terms. You are already a significant presence in cultural life. The larger audience will open larger opportunities for you, especially in the U.S.
I won’t wish you good luck because I know you will make your own good fortune.
Well, Henry, you’re now serving the higher calling here on Substack, whatever you get up to at the Mercatus Centre. Here you’re committed to Art for Art’s sake. It’s rotten luck when you’ve built up a strong following that you’re not allowed to earn a crust from it! Maybe at Christmas you could post a link to your wishlist with delivery to a UK address, thus exploiting the weakness in Substack’s business model and even the U.S. J-1 visa? But I couldn’t possibly suggest you do that. Good luck, and all the best.
Yes the whole community of shrills on Substack who think they are the next $ away from becoming the next Walter Cronkite , Barbara Walters or even Harold Bloom was getting to be stuck in the first person ]dialogue[ 🤔
I will pay for your archive once I get over the lay off phase. There is no reason to unsubscribe from high quality writing and advice on reading or the second act stories.
Being someone who thinks that Jane Austen is for girls/women and young boys, request you to either change my mind or include other writers who middle age men would be interested in , in your future posts. All the best for your US stint.

The limitations of the US visas are sometimes insane fr 😔
the world is what it is
I hope everything goes well for you. Looking forward to your upcoming articles!!
Thanks!!

Sounds like an interesting adventure. Best of luck 🍀🤞
Best wishes for your time in the US.

I hope you and your family have a fun and rewarding time in the U.S. If you come to Seattle at all, let me know if I can be of help in any way.
Thank you Fran :)
Thanks for letting us know. There is always an upside - I can pay for one more sub!
yes exactly :)
It’s a strange world. I trust you will flourish, Henry. All the best, John.
Thank you :)
Thank YOU Henry. Go well.

If you and your family find yourselves in NYC allow me to buy you a nice dinner!

Your knowledge of literature is amazing.

Congratulations Henry on the new position! Very excited for you. Well deserved.
I am completely and utterly confused about this. What does getting paid on substack have to do with anything?????
My motto: Fuck the Fascists
I am authorised to be on the programme and to be paid by them and not authorised for other employment, which this would be, seems to be standard stuff
