TheBroadsheet
The newsletter platform for serious writers
Broadsheet is a printing press for your newsletter. An editor that respects the sentence, delivery you can set a watch by, and a subscriber list you own outright.
Somewhere between the feed and the follower count, writing stopped being a correspondence and became a performance. We built Broadsheet to reverse that. It's a newsletter platform with the temperament of a printing press: you write, you set the type, you press send, and your edition lands in every inbox on your list. Whole, in order, on time.
There's no ranking to game and no reach to buy. A reader subscribes because they want you in the house. Their address stays yours, the archive stays yours, and both leave with you the day you go. Export is one click and zero questions.
Paid tiers run through your own Stripe account, and Broadsheet takes no cut of subscription revenue. Each morning the ledger arrives: deliveries, opens, reads, lapses. Enough to steer by. Never enough to spy.
Set, printed, and sent on Broadsheet
Six columns on what the machine does.
Every night Broadsheet closes the books and engraves your ledger: deliveries, opens, reads, lapses, revenue. One chart, three numbers, no dashboard sprawl. You read it with the first coffee and know exactly where the publication stands.
Plain text in, typeset prose out. Footnotes, pull quotes, and small caps sit one keystroke away, and every draft saves itself every four seconds. No blocks to fight, no toolbar the size of a piano.
Warm dedicated IPs, DKIM and DMARC set up for you, and a 99.9% delivery SLA on paid plans. When you say 6:00 a.m., it means 6:00 a.m. in your reader's timezone, not ours.
Free and paid tiers through your own Stripe account. Broadsheet takes no cut of subscription revenue: your margin is your margin. Comp your friends, paywall the archive, change rates whenever.
One importer for Substack, Ghost, and Mailchimp. Posts, subscribers, and paid standing arrive intact and formatted in about an afternoon. Redirects included, so old links keep working.
Custom domain, custom sending address, your masthead on every edition. Readers subscribe to you, not to us. If you leave, everything leaves with you: list, archive, and paid relationships.
Where an edition comes together.
