Cancellation & Refund Policy for Paid Subscriptions

I’ll be sorry to see you go, but understand that circumstances (and tastes) can change. I’m grateful for your support!

To remove yourself as a paid subscriber to The Understory: Love, Culture, Fiction:

Go to your Substack Settings, find the publication, and click the “Cancel Subscription” link under Account Actions.

What Happens When You Cancel:

You keep paid access until the end of your current billing period; then you become a free subscriber.

Refund Policy:

  • Within 7 Days: Substack issues refunds if requested within 7 days of payment.

  • Dormant Pubs: Refunds are given for publications inactive for 1 month (monthly) or 6 months (yearly).

  • Submit Request: Contact Substack Support to submit a request within the allowed window

  • After 7 Days/Active Pubs: Contact the publisher directly, as refunds are their choice.

Please note, I don’t offer refunds on paid subscriptions above and beyond Substack’s terms and conditions listed above.

Thank you for your support!
