  • Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    Posted on by A.P. Fuchs

    Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite

    canister x transmission collections

    Well, MailChimp pulled the plug on TinyLetter, the newsletter engine I’ve using to send THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION for about eight years. It was a great platform because it had a simple and direct, user-friendly interface and was perfect for a text-based newsletter like mine. But, alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose, so thanks to fellow author Bobby Nash, he turned me on to MailerLite and from there I’ll be able to continue to send out new issues of the newsletter week after week. This change, of course, will involve some link adjusting and some web design stuff since all my sites have the TinyLetter subscribe box.

    Either way, we now have a new provider and there should be no interupption in service.

    You’ll also receive a free thriller novelette upon subscribing. Goes out Saturdays.

    Goodbye, Tinyletter. Thank you for your service.

    If you’d like to be a part of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION while I finish getting things all set up, please email me and I’ll add you to the subscriber list. You can also use the form above. The email-me option is there in case of glitches.

    Thanks.

    vLog – My YouTube Journey Part 2

    vLog my youtube journey part 2 thumbnail

    Fuchs talks about this second phase of his journey here on YouTube and what it’s really all about by citing Harvey Pekar and his work with AMERICAN SPLENDOR. Bottom line: It’s about being down-to-Earth and revealing everyday life. It’s about relating to viewers. It’s about the audience and one man’s effort to connect on some level with whomever tunes in.
