The Purse has moved!
Check out our new site: thepurse.co
Exciting news! The Purse has a new website!
The Purse will no longer be hosted on Substack. Free and paid subscribers shouldn’t notice any big difference. Our friends at Ghost, our new email service provider, helped us move everything over from Substack and handled all the backend changes. We still use Stripe to process payments, so hopefully you won’t notice any disruption in service.
We have loved being part of a community of writers on Substack for the last two years, and so this move is a bit bittersweet. I truly believe that the friendships we’ve made are stronger than just sharing an email service provider, and Alicia and I plan to continue to hang out in Substack Notes and comment on our friends’ posts. Hopefully, you’ll see some of them contributing stories on The Purse as well!
And a big thank-you to all our subscribers! You make The Purse such a special place, and we’re so excited for this next chapter!
I'd wondered where the Purse had gone and had to track it down! (I read newsletters via the substack app on my phone or via the desktop site when at work.) I transitioned to these methods long ago when reading newsletters out of my email was impossible. I hope this new location (and email) is something I can maintain.
I agree with everyone here, the site looks phenomenal. Looking forward to reading it on the website!
