I started 2024 with the goal of doubling Page of Pulp’s subscriptions on Substack and, without putting too fine a point on it, failed spectacularly. If there is a readership base for Westward, I still haven’t found it, or found out how to find it. That’s why I occasionally turn to the readers I do have (that would be you) to help provide insights.
For the rest of 2025, I’ll be editing Ziggurat into book form and deciding what to do next. Part of that decision involves whether to continue releasing the story in serial form using Substack, or whether to try a different method. Your answers to these questions will help me to make that decision.
If you have any other general feedback about Westward or its publishing method, please detail it in the comments or write me an email. Whatever happens next, I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.
Thanks again for being a reader! Be seeing you.

I would much rather have more frequent updates. Weekly or daily. I also like this website for what's worth, but don't really know if there are better alternatives
