1/ This great comment by @cwarzel, who just launched a new @SubstackInc publication, explains my thinking in launching my own Substack newsletter/blog, Original Jurisdiction. I was around for that “golden era of blogging” — and I want to relive it.

2/ With my new Substack, I’m trying to go back to Underneath Their Robes and the early days of Above the Law.

It was all so much fun, and even though my audience was smaller back then, I knew them intimately. And they knew each other; it was a community.

3/ This time around, I hope to make a living from my writing through reader subscriptions. I’ve been writing on the web for free for 17 years, including the first 5 months of Original Jurisdiction — but on 5/3, I’ll turn on paid subs: https://bit.ly/3dSUsmT 

4/ I will still post a lot of great free content on Original Jurisdiction, but subscribers will get additional content. When 5/3 rolls around, please consider supporting me if you can. Thank you! https://twitter.com/katieleebarlow/status/1381251974964871173
