Sponsorship

I buy media for a living. So this is the page I wish everyone else had.

Numbers first, no call required, no gated PDF. If it's a fit you'll know by the time you finish scrolling.

What's for sale

One per issue

The Primary

Inside the story, right after the turning point, where people are still reading. Not at the bottom.

70 words · one link · optional 600×600 image · written by you, or I write it in the newsletter’s voice and you approve it.

One per issue

The Frontispiece

Full width directly under the watercolour, above the story. First thing after the headline.

25 words · one link · logo only, no image.

Up to two per issue

The Footnote

One line under “Where I got this”. The cheapest way in.

15 words · one link · text only.

You cannot buy a story.

No paid features, no sponsored profiles, no brand spotlights. If I've written about you, you can still advertise — but not in the same issue, and it gets labelled at the top when it happens.

I'll turn down anything I wouldn't send to a friend. If that's a problem we probably shouldn't work together, and I'd rather find that out now than after you've paid.

Book it

Email with the issue dates you want and I'll reply the same day. There's no deck.
