Sub Club Weekly Digest #3
10/12/24 - workshop discount, submission brainstorm, new fuck it submit parties
How’s everyone’s week been? Good? Good.
I heard a great tip recently while presenting at the Dirty, Messy, Alive Conference1. It came from the host Janelle Hardy. We were talking about how to find readership numbers for magazines. Her tip? Check their media kit. That’s where they tell advertisers about their numbers to sell them ad space. Not every mag will have one but those that do, why not check? Rather than wander around their website, you can find them pretty easy by Googling “[Mag Name] Media Kit.”
In other news, you know how I taught a course on submitting to lit mags last year? It was for our sister substack ‘The Forever Workshop.’ Well, they’ve got a super cool horror class going on for October. It’s called The Craft of Fear: Writing Horror That Does More Than Just Scare with Kayla Kumari. And they gave us a 20% off discount!
And by they, I do mean I shouted to my partner Shel across the basement we’re in (Yes, our HQ is a basement) and asked, “HEY!…Hey! Can I give Sub Club 20% off Kayla’s workshop?” And she said, “Sure.” So don’t say I never did nothing for you. Claim the discount here.
But as for us (on this side of the basement), this week we had some sweet-sweet extra opportunities.
And we’ve got more submission accountability hours coming! Every week! Coming up:

Come with any questions you have about submitting. I’m happy to answer anything I can. These are super casual. Time to submit your work with a bit of support.
We’re toying with some options for accepting submissions & offering payment. What does everyone think would be a good method?
We likely won’t start submissions till spring, but we’re in the research phase. Thinking to start with interviews? Maybe some essays?
Alrighty, that’s all we’ve got this week.
How are we doing? Looking for something we haven’t been providing, let us know!
