I would be very interested in subscribing to IWC as a group and then having my subscription divided between writers, giving me access to all. I know that would come to maybe a dollar or two each writer, but it’s more than now. I think this model could increase subscriptions and incomes and readership. As it is, I want to support each writer but there’s no way I could subscribe to each for $25/$50. Does the group discuss this? Is there a model in Substack that exists like this, or could be created?
What a generous person you are! I love your spirit. Artists should be paid for their work, yes! But until we have a mechanism for that, follow Julie’s advice. If we were able to exist in a true newspaper model, we’d all be getting a wage. It’s something to strive for.

Lora, thanks for your thoughtful suggestion. Currently, all writers are independent and there isn’t a mechanism to do what you suggest.
Just pick three - five members you like and pay to subscribe to them. And we sure appreciate you!
