Two years of Chortle!

A brief thank you.

Please allow me to toot my own horn: this newsletter launched two years ago, today! You’re currently reading Chortle’s 453rd post (holy shit). In that time, I’ve published work from dozens of other writers and made literally tens of dollars myself. Tens!

Ok, I like to self-deprecate, but writing this newsletter and discovering that sometimes people actually like it has been extraordinarily validating. Our subscriber list is nearly 2,000 people deep these days, and 101 of you fine folks currently pay to keep it going! Here’s the coolest part: I’ve been able to carve out this little niche simply by consistently publishing work I think is funny.

So, genuinely, thank you for reading.

If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, please consider upgrading! I would love for Chortle to be a full-time job, but we’re still pretty far from that goal. Your subscription dollars will help!

Also, something I don’t mention often enough: gift subscriptions are available! Why not give the most important gift of all… laughter…

Thanks again for reading from this happy little two-year-old newsletter. GOO GOO GA GA!
