The Dang Apostrophe

Premium Membership

The Dang Apostrophe is the personal newsletter of Danny O'Neil, who is trying to morph from veteran sports journalist in Seattle into an independent writer in New York. The newsletter is an Arnold Palmer-like concoction that mixes his own thoughts on various subjects (the tea) with his continuing interest in Seattle sports (often lemonade). He has been repeatedly advised to emphasize the advantages a premium subscription affords -- the value proposition as the business folks call it -- but truthfully, it's more akin to a sponsorship of Danny's attempt to change his trajectory as a writer. Put more bluntly: The goal is not to have a best-selling newsletter; it's to build a writing career that is lucrative enough that the newsletter becomes free.
