Introducing Write.as Memberships
It’s been six years since the first time we celebrated our years of existence on the web by launching our long-term Pro plan.
Today, with hundreds of long-term subscribers, we’re putting a new coat of paint on this option, and renaming it Write.as Memberships, to reflect what you get with a 5-year Pro subscription: extra perks, and a lasting spot among a community of writers in our cozy little corner of the independent web.

It’s been six years since the first time we celebrated our years of existence on the web by launching our long-term Pro plan.
Today, with hundreds of long-term subscribers, we’re putting a new coat of paint on this option, and renaming it Write.as Memberships, to reflect what you get with a 5-year Pro subscription: extra perks, and a lasting spot among a community of writers in our cozy little corner of the independent web.
Write.as users can check out the revamped Membership section (previously called “Long Subscriptions”) today.
This page under the Billing section includes everything about your Membership, including the extra perks you get over the monthly or yearly Pro plan, to be sure you’re enjoying them all.
Renewal
With this, we’re also introducing the ability to easily renew your 5-year membership, starting any time up to 1½ years before it’s set to end.
Since renewal is always a manual process, we wanted to leave a wide window so you can be sure your Pro features don’t lapse. This should also help anyone who wants the chance to get a discount on membership when we run occasional sales, like we’re doing now through February 16, 2026, celebrating our 11 years on the web. When you choose to renew, any existing membership is simply extended by another five years from its end date, no matter when you decide to renew.
Current and past 5-year subscribers will find this new option to renew at the bottom of their Membership page. If you’re eligible to renew, there will be a Renew button — otherwise, you’ll see the date when your renewal window opens up.
Reminders
Since membership doesn’t automatically renew, we’ll soon send out reminder emails to all current and past 5-year members (who haven’t already marked their membership as “cancelled”) to remind them that they can now renew their membership.
Future perks
Besides Membership-only perks like additional blogs, unlimited Free user invites, and the chance to hop on a call with our founder, Matt, we hope to add new perks that are exclusive to Members in the future. You can keep an eye out for that by following along with our updates here, and subscribing to email updates.
Otherwise, we’d love to hear what you think! Feel free to leave us a comment on Remark.as (Discuss...) or on the forum. And always, thanks for writing with us!
