A newsletter from David Harris

One of the real benefits of email newsletters is that they can help provide a foundation for discussion and a sense of connection to the writer. I have had numerous collaborations in the past that arose from incidental discussions about ideas and projects.

There will be two parts to the newsletter. Here on substack, you can send a newsletter that is sometimes public and sometimes for paid subscribers. I’ll be doing both.

For the first part, I will have a regular free newsletter that is centred on my consumption of ideas and will probably take the form of annotated links and images with the ideas they evoke for me.

For the second part, there will be a subscriber-only newsletter centred on my creative work-in-progress. The subscriber part isn’t about the money: it’s that sharing work-in-progress is an intensely personal thing and having people subscribe represents a kind of seriousness of engagement that makes the whole process of sharing both more comfortable and more intimate. This part is likely to have much more about what I’m actually making, with images, videos, and often thoughts in progress. I will be particularly keen to hear responses from subscribers about what I’m up to. And perhaps there will be ideas I can work on further with you.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
