What our readers are saying

"Thanks to Modern Serial, I have an accessible way to incorporate those unread classics into my daily routine."

“I love what you’re doing with Modern Serial. I think most email newsletters are…bullshit. But this one I really love.


It’s smart to meet people where they are. And we’re all always in our email. I like the cadence of it. I like how it says how long it’ll take me to read the email.”

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

We charge a flat fee of $9.99 for all of our books.

Once you buy a book from us, it's yours forever. You can read it as many times as you want.

How do I create an account?

We automatically create an account for you when you buy your first book.

Once I buy a book, how often will you send me new issues?

It's up to you! By default, we send out new issues 3x/week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so you will have ample time to read each issue. But you can configure Modern Serial to send issues on whichever weekdays you prefer.

What if I need to take a break for a week when I go on vacation?

The top of each newsletter issue contains a link to the settings page, where you can pause your subscription, rewind to an earlier section of the book, or fast-forward to a later section if you want to skip ahead.
