About Adulting Sucks

Adulting Sucks is “all about embracing the chaos of adulthood”. It’s a creative space that merges memoir, reflection and creative nonfiction with humour.

What does it contain?

Occasionally helpful advice, tips, stories and strategies for surviving adulthood. Although, rather than a how-to publication this is more of how-not.

Intended readership

This tongue-in-cheek publication is for adults who don’t mind the occasional swear word, off-topic wanderings, badly drawn images, and anecdotal accounts.

Frequency

As a subscriber you can expect a notification of a new instalment every other week. The aim is weekly, but adulting things take preference.

Eat carrots

Eating carrots while reading the publication of Adulting Sucks helps readers’ digest the bite-sized portions of satire and humour.

Genre

Nonfiction, memoir, creative nonfiction, satire, humour, experimental and potentially some short stories and micro fiction. So, a mixed bag of goodies.

Adulting Sucks subscription price

Purchasing a paid subscription for my publication at Substack supports my writing practice.

I offer a subscription for AUD$5.00 a month. Over a year that works out to be $60. So, I have also set up an annual subscription for AUD$30.

To save even more, you can also become a Founding member for AUD$60. If you don’t have AUD$60 then you can enter an amount that’s more than AUD$30 but less than AUD$60 in the dollar field for the Founding member.
