Why subscribe to Stranger Fiction Premium?

Longform series that only premium subscribers will see

I’m starting with four series (each updated weekly): A Journey Through The Penguin Jazz Guide, A Personal History of the World After Punk, I Don't Know A Thing About Indian Folk and Classical Music, and The World Through Documentaries. As Stranger Fiction grows, there’ll be more of these, with more help from people more in the know.

Behind-the-scenes access to new releases and early-bird perks

Starting with my Akhil Srivatsan’s next album in the first half of 2021, get guides, videos, and tutorials on how the songs are composed, arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered. And be among the only ones to get discounted (and sometimes free) music and books, starting with A Year Of Stranger Fiction.

Be a part of the Stranger Fiction growth story

Today, Stranger Fiction attracts about 50,000 users every month, and covers stories on music and media I find interesting. In its final form, Stranger Fiction will be more than just a magazine: a publisher of original writing, music, and media. That’s a long (and, let’s face it, capital-intensive journey 💵 💵 💵). I’ll need help to take it there: that’s writers, musicians, marketing, business stuff, etc. As a premium subscriber, you’ll help power that journey.
