FAQs
Why has The Palaeo Minute been added to the website?
As a trained palaeontologist, I launched The Palaeo Minute to share deep-time discoveries and scientific insight through a subscriber-only newsletter designed to spark curiosity and deliver wider science outreach.
How many editions will be released?
Eleven editions for 2025-2026 plus new newsletters and occasional bonus content as the expedition evolves. The ongoing development of this project depends on the financial support of subscribers and purchasers.
How much will The Palaeo Minute be and when will I receive each edition?
On WordPress you can purchase individual editions for £14.99 each and bonus editions for £12.99 each. You can also access all via a £9.99/month rolling subscription, with issues unlocked upon release. Or pre-pay £120 for all eleven editions on a rolling annual subscription. All editions are unlocked with the subscription.
When will I be charged?
For both individual purchases and subscriptions, payments are processed by WordPress. You will only be charged once you reach the third edition, giving you time to explore before any billing begins.
Do I keep access to editions I have purchased?
Yes. Any edition you unlock on the website remains available to you permanently. You can revisit your purchased newsletters as often as you like.
How often are new editions released?
New editions are created when reader support makes it possible. As an independent palaeontologist, I can only dedicate time to producing new deep‑dive stories when existing editions generate enough income to sustain the project. By subscribing or purchasing, you directly help enable future instalments of The Palaeo Minute.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
I want you to enjoy every step of the adventure into the past. While I do not offer refunds for previously released editions, you are always free to cancel no questions asked.
Your support propels this expedition forward. I’m excited to keep uncovering palaeontological wonders and sharing the stories buried in stone.
