Introducing the Passionfruit Mixer

Issue #278 | October 3, 2024

As we mentioned on Tuesday, we’ve been growing here at Passionfruit, and starting this Saturday, you’ll be getting a third newsletter from Drew and the Passionfruit crew. We’re calling it the “Passionfruit Mixer,” and unlike our weekday sends that cover big ideas and creator goss, we’ll be focusing more specifically on you, the people who are making great internet day in and day out.

Those of you who have been around for a minute may have heard of a little thing called the Passionfruit Creator Spotlight, our attempt to highlight and elevate creators who are just making great internet. We’ve gotten thousands of applications, and if you’d like to be featured, you can fill out your own application right here.

It’s taken us a minute (or a year) to go through all of the existing applications, but we have some really talented, brilliant readers making awesome content for themselves, and we’re so excited to share them with you. If you’d like to nominate creators for us to feature, you can do so in our Discord, and in the coming weeks and months we’ll be featuring more ways for creators to have their work seen and heard.

Let us know what you think of it, we’re eager to make it a valuable resource for discovering your next favorite writer, musician, comedian, creator, whatever. As always, responding to this email will go straight to us, so if you’ve got thoughts, don’t hesitate to share ‘em.

See you Saturday!
