First Anniversary and 100 Subscriber Giveaway!
Celebrating my first anniversary on Substack and reaching the 100 subscriber milestone!
Hello everyone!
It’s been exactly one year since my very first post here. I was so reluctant about starting this back then. I wasn’t sure if I would be laughed at or if it would just be a waste of time. I felt awkward about sending updates directly into peoples inboxes and honestly doubted if anyone would sign up at all, but Instagram just isn’t what it used to be and we needed another way to stay connected.
It turned out I wasn’t the only one feeling this way! I was genuinely shocked at the response when I announced my newsletter on Instagram, with over 40 people signing up just in the first couple of hours. With over 100 on the list now, I’m thrilled to call this a success.
This Calls for a Giveaway!
To celebrate, I’ve decided to give away a free signed print! The print is the Hookah-Smoking Tardigrade, which was inspired by the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. You can find it in my shop here.
All email subscribers are eligible, just reply to this email or send me a direct message with the phrase “I love microbes!” to enter. If you enter via DM please also let me know which email address you’re subscribed with.
I’ll do the draw on December 6th, and will announce the winner in my next newsletter (only if they want to be announced, of course). I have lots of news to share including two new drawings, so look forward to another update very soon!
Thank you again so much for being here. Your support truly means everything to me. I hope you’re enjoying the newsletters as much as I’ve been enjoying writing them!
Wish you all the best,
Kate
Congratulations. I enjoy reading your updates and seeing your new work.
