Have you ever wanted to take a break from writing your newsletter? This week Vanity Fair wrote an interesting piece about how writers are navigating breaks or moving on from their newsletter and the burnout it can lead to.

While it's a bit more negative about the newsletter space than I would agree with I think it does raise an interesting point about how creators can take breaks when needed even with paying customers. Should it be planned well in advance? Should subscribers receive discounts or a free month? What do you think?

Also the featured newsletters this week cover Japan, markets, book summaries, startups saving the planet, and more.
