Why subscribe?

Welcome to the living Danishly newsletter on Substack! Substack is a platform where you can contribute to your favourite writers – more important now than ever since so many of us have been doing this for a long time for free. With the threat of AI (where two of my books were stolen recently, good times…), Substack is a really nice way to support the writers you enjoy reading.

Upgrade to paid
