Why become a member of Storyletter XPress Publishing?

XPress and First Class Explained

How it started

I created The Storyletter (a play on the word ‘newsletter’) in July of 2021 with the intention of publishing my own stories in an experimental fashion and building a subscriber base of individuals who wanted to read my work. This changed rather quickly after entering the self-publishing sphere for the first time. Many great voices were vying to be heard in this innovative and growing space, and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something more I could be doing.

How it’s going

I founded Storyletter XPress Publishing LLC and began honing a new mission designed to help other independent writers succeed. Despite the small adjustments over the past year, that intention hasn’t faltered. I hope to continue to bridge the gap between indie writers and a new readership seeking exciting stories. Join a new vision for the future of speculative fiction!

XPress Access Explained

XPress is a paid membership to Storyletter XPress Publishing. It’s the best way to show your support and get some exclusive perks in the process. A lot of what we’re working on is in the early stages, and things are expected to change slightly. However, I’ve managed to keep a few things consistent for the most part:

• Monthly paid newsletter on a topic for indie creators and writers.

• Members get access to our private Discord. It’s a good way to connect directly with other members of Storyletter XPress Publishing and network.

• Members can submit for publication. If accepted, we pay .01 cents per word to purchase your story and publish it. You keep the rights for use elsewhere, such as contests and other publication options.

• Members get priority treatment when it comes to interviews and showcases.

• Members can download ebooks published by Storyletter XPress Publishing.

I’m confident these offerings are worth the price of admission. If you have any questions or want to offer feedback, comment below or email me at storyletter@protonmail.com.

First Class - The Founder’s Tier

With First Class, I provide basic editing, feedback, graphic design, and marketing services for a story you’re working on (up to 50,000 words).

I’ll even guide you all the way to self-publication so that you maintain control over your story and royalties. I’ll be available for any questions you have during the process. I’m even including 2 ISBNs for both your eBook and print editions to help you get started! (That’s inherently a $60 value included in your subscription)

It’s only because of you that all of this is possible. Plus, I want to give writers the attention that they and their stories deserve. I won’t be able to do that on a large scale by myself, but tailored to just the First Class members, I think it will be more manageable.

Let me know what you think in the comments. Ask your questions here or by emailing me directly (storyletter@protonmail.com). I look forward to working with you and reading your amazing stories!
