Frequently asked questions.
What is Standard.site Summer?
A summer promotion run with Bluesky across the platforms built on Standard.site, Offprint included. Start an annual Pro plan before July 31 and Bluesky covers your first three months, so your first year comes to 25% off.
How does the discount work?
Switch to an annual Pro plan and Bluesky covers the first three months. It is applied automatically at checkout, with no code to enter. After the first year, Pro renews at its regular price.
When does the offer end?
July 31. Annual Pro plans started before then get the first three months covered. Monthly pricing is unaffected and stays as it is.
I'm already on monthly Pro. Can I still get it?
Yes. Switch from monthly to annual before July 31 and the offer applies to your first year on annual billing.
Why is Bluesky paying for this?
Offprint is one of the founding platforms built on Standard.site, a shared standard for long-form publishing on the open social web (the same network as Bluesky). The promotion is their way of supporting independent publishing built on open standards.
What is Offprint?
A publishing platform for independent writers. Create publications, write posts, and grow your audience.
Who is Offprint for?
Writers who want to publish on their own terms. Newsletters, essays, serial fiction, criticism, reporting. If the work is yours, Offprint is built for it.
Do I need a Bluesky account?
Yes, or an account on any other compatible service on the open social web (also known as the Atmosphere). Offprint uses your existing identity rather than asking you to create another one.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, when on the Pro plan. Connect a domain you own and verify it through DNS. Your publication runs under your name, not a subdomain of ours.
What happens to my work if I stop using Offprint?
Your posts and your audience stay with you. Both live on the open social web, accessible from other apps that support publishing. Nothing to migrate, nothing to lose.
Can I import from Substack or another platform?
Import tools for the major platforms are in progress. If you have a specific source in mind, get in touch and we can prioritize it.
Do my readers need an account to subscribe?
No. Readers can subscribe with just an email address when you're on the Pro plan. Anyone with an account on the open social web can also follow your publication from other apps.
How does Offprint make money?
Through subscriptions paid by the writers who use it. There's no advertising, no venture capital, and no plans to introduce either.
Is there a free tier?
A free tier covers the basics so you can try Offprint without commitment. Paid plans unlock custom domains, additional publications, and other features as your work grows.
Can I make money from my writing?
Not yet. Reader-funded subscriptions and other monetization options are on the roadmap. For now, Offprint focuses on giving writers a durable place to publish.
What does "open social web" actually mean for me?
In practical terms, it means your writing and your readers are not locked inside Offprint. Your posts are readable by other apps in the same network, your subscribers can follow you from those apps, and if you ever move on, your audience and your work go with you. You don't need to understand the technical details. You just get to keep what's yours.
Your audience is waiting.
The blank page is going to be there either way. May as well make it yours.
