Donald J. Claxton’s Substack Hub

This is a summary newsletter dispatched on Saturday mornings, providing weekly insights on various topics like books, creativity, healthcare, and politics.

My Substack Hub compiles highlights from my weekly newsletters, ensuring you don’t miss out on intriguing discussions.

Full-Frontal Nudity of the Soul for Writers

During my writing coursework at Southern Methodist University, my mentor often emphasized that writers reveal their innermost feelings through their work.

This newsletter is designed for writers who want to delve deeper. While a free version exists, paid subscriptions will offer exclusive writing examples, videos, and unique writing tips.

For the four paid newsletters, I will reserve 15 spots for those interested in a founder's role, akin to a board member. Monthly subscriptions for Full-Frontal Nudity of the Soul are $6.99, while an annual fee is $70. Founders can join for $150 annually, with the opportunity to submit up to four guest posts each month.

Twenty-five percent of all paid subscriptions in March 2022 will support Ukraine through the Red Cross.

The Red Wave Bugler

This newsletter is published on Substack every first, third, and fifth Friday of the month.

Paid subscribers will receive exclusive content, insights into the War in Ukraine, and analyses based on my extensive experience in government and politics.

As an Air Force Brat, I have personal ties to military strategy and a deep understanding of its implications.

Monthly membership for The Red Wave Bugler is $10, with an annual fee of $100 and $220 for founders. Founders can also submit guest posts each month, contributing their knowledge and expertise.

For March 2022, 25% of your subscription will aid the Red Cross in supporting Ukraine, amounting to $2.50 for monthly subscribers, $25 for annual subscriptions, and $55 for founders.

The Book Hoarders

The Book Hoarders is a newsletter for fellow book lovers who can't resist the allure of bookstores or online platforms. It releases free content every second and fourth Thursday.

Having read over 150 titles in the last seven years, my goal for 2022 is a minimum of 30 books.

Subscriptions are $5 monthly, $52.90 annually, and $150 for founders. If you share my passion for literature, consider joining as a founder to create exceptional content.

As with the other paid newsletters, $1.25 of the monthly fee and $13.25 of the annual fee will support the Red Cross in March 2022. Founders will contribute $37.50 of their $150 subscription.

The Voodoo Hill Explorer Club

The Voodoo Hill Explorer Club is my ongoing project about four boys creating a treehouse in 1977, unaware of a Soviet spy nearby.

The relevance of this narrative has grown with the current conflict in Ukraine, making it more pertinent than ever.

This newsletter publishes free content on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, and also aims to establish an adventure club for treehouse enthusiasts.

Monthly membership is $10, with an annual fee of $100 and a founders’ rate of $220. March 2022 subscriptions will see $2.50 from monthly members, $25 from annual members, and $55 from founders donated to the Red Cross.

Key Points

• A quarter of your new $5 Medium.com subscription in March 2022 will support the Red Cross for Ukraine.
• The same percentage applies to my Full-Frontal Nudity of the Soul subscriptions.
• New subscriptions to The Red Wave Bugler will also contribute to the Red Cross.
• For The Book Hoarders, $1.25 per month and $13.25 annually will aid the Red Cross.
• The Voodoo Hill Explorer’s Club will provide similar support from new subscriptions.

Conclusion

I urge you to contribute. While I may earn less by focusing on these crucial issues, the Red Cross will gain much-needed support during this crisis.

If the conflict in Ukraine persists into April and May, we will discuss extending this initiative.

Thank you for your attention. Let’s work together to create a positive impact and engage in meaningful discussions about global events. Our actions can lead to significant change.
