Hi, I’m Peter Blair and you’re receiving this email because you signed up for The Pelican, a pro-life newsletter. This newsletter is released once a month, on the first Monday of the month (the below is a special email). If you like what you read, you can subscribe or share below; if you don’t like what you read, you can unsubscribe at the bottom of the email.
Dear Subscribers,
When I first started writing this newsletter, I did it as an experiment—I thought it was something I would find valuable to produce just for my own benefit, but I didn’t know if anyone would find it valuable to read. Though I’ve maintained a pretty irregular schedule (and, let’s face it, will probably always do so to some degree), enough readers nevertheless prize this newsletter that, it seems, there’s something here.
So far, The Pelican has tried out different formats, such as the interview, the conversation, and news analysis. In the new year, I look forward to returning to these as well as branching out (into e.g. book reviews, with reader suggestions on new things to do or include always welcome). In order to continue justifying the time I put into this, however, I need to build on the strong subscriber growth I’ve seen recently.
If you’ve found The Pelican valuable, I’d love your help in trying to double the subscription list. Posting about this newsletter on social media is always appreciated, but what would also help a great deal is personally sharing The Pelican with 1+ people you think might be interested in subscribing and encouraging them to do so.
Whatever you’re able to do or not to do in this regard, thank you for subscribing! Here’s to a better 2021—or, if you were fortunate enough to have a good year despite everything, to continued good fortune.
Keeping to the “first Monday of the month” schedule, the next edition should be out on Jan. 4th (or thereabouts).
Happy Holidays,
Peter
