This could be our future
Collaborative print pamphlets exploring the future of nation-states, capitalism, and humanity.
We’re a writer’s collective exploring a better future through essay collections and print pamphlets.
Here are a few of our collections
MANIFESTO
The Elysian is a media collective exploring utopian futures, now we have a Manifesto—one way the world could go from here. Paid subscribers get the digital edition. Collectors get the print pamphlet. Join our collective to get the Manifesto👇🏻
CITY STATE
Thank you so much for reading CITY STATE, seven writers exploring autonomous governance through an online essay collection and print pamphlet.
TERRAFORM
We’ve just finished publishing TERRAFORM, six writers exploring the future of our planet through an online essay collection and print pamphlet. You can still support the project by collecting the digital or print pamphlet here. 👇🏻
WE SHOULD OWN THE ECONOMY
This is the online manuscript for We Should Own The Economy, a book-in-progress about the future of capitalism. Readers can still invest in the project and earn a share of the revenue when it sells 👇🏻
Thanks for reading,
Founder, Elysian Collective
Fantastic! Many thanks for doing this. What a great feeling it must be to take stock. I’m coming up on 100 subscribers, with minimal promotion (only so much time in a day). When I can really focus on that, your resources and wisdom will be invaluable.
Hi hi ! Thank you for all the valuable tips and tools. I drifted into Substack by chance and drifted into sharing work that I’ve been hoarding / hiding quite organically only to find that so many many other writers here were too. I’ve found that “passing the parcel” this way - whether I am the giver or receiver - has been so fulfilling. Umbilical severance! Floating babies ! Looking forward to applying some of your insights to see if I can make this thing grow! Even if just to find The Others. That would be reward enough, scribbling in the dark as I have all these years! Thanks again.
