Membership
Four Stages and a Letter
The memberships are named for the stages of a literary career, which arrive in roughly this order for almost no one. Emerging is the condition every writer begins in and many never formally leave. The fellowship is the first time anyone pays for the work before it exists. The bestseller list is the market's verdict, issued weekly and never explained. And the laurel is the institution's verdict, issued once and then quoted for the rest of your life.
Each membership holds everything beneath it, which is the one respect in which it improves on the career it is named for.
Founding readers who join before January 1, 2027 get the premium Workshop tools free.
Free
The Letter
Every week: one finding from the canon data, one poem on loan, and the newest tool, with a note on how to use it.
Free, always. No card.
Side by side
The table is the dull version of the cards above, and like most dull versions it is the one you will actually consult.
Questions
Can I move between memberships?
Yes, at any time, from your account. Moving up opens the new shelf at once.
Can I cancel?
Whenever you like, from your account. A paid membership runs to the end of the period you paid for and then becomes the Letter, which keeps arriving every week.
Can I give a membership?
Yes: give one here. It is the rare present that improves the giver's reputation and the recipient's query letter at the same time.
What is proesy.app?
The writer's suite: the heavier tools that need an application, not a page, to run. It opens in stages, and each piece arrives in the memberships that include it on the day it ships.
