Thanks for this, I added myself to the other section emails.
I think it's a good idea to keep some sections separate (Notes from a Gamer, for example) because not every interested reader is also an interested gamer. Going forward, though, I'd make the literary sections all default to opt in and include a manage subscriptions button in each email or otherwise remind readers that they can opt out. If I get around to sectioning, I think that's what I'm going to do. I bet you have a lot of subscribers who had no clue that all those other possibilities existed.
Excellent point! I hadn’t thought of it that way. If it’s fiction then add everyone and they can choose to opt-out but if it’s a very niche topic like reviewing Star Trek canon then make it opt-in with information about the new Section available.
I've considered that and I think I may do that moving forward. This is just for what I've created already. Then again, I can go back and add my list to those sections that have no one in it and do as you suggested...definite food for thought...

How do you determine how many people have subscribed to each section?
I’ve been all things sci-fi since I watched STAR TREK with my dad.
When I add a new section, I send it to my largest email list and suggest that they opt-out if they don't like the new writing.
