Stories don't stop when I hit publish
What Is More?
More is my digital notebook—the space where stories continue after they appear in The Planet, Daybreak Notes & Beans, or Screen Skills. It’s where I share follow-ups that arrive too late, deeper dives when 200 words weren’t enough, reader comments that sparked longer thoughts, and personal moments that don’t fit anywhere else.
Think of it as the connective tissue between my other newsletters. Sometimes it’s a video I shared on Notes that needs more context. Sometimes it’s additional details about a developing news story or the backstory of an item I wrote that I still want to share. Sometimes it’s just Luna doing something worth sharing.

What to Expect
I’m aiming for 2-3 posts per month, but that could vary. Some posts will be substantial, others brief. There’s no fixed format because this is deliberately unstructured—more scrapbook than magazine. If you read this a few weeks after I wrote this on January 10, 2026, just check what I published so you have an idea.
If you’re considering paid support, please subscribe to at least one of my main newsletters first. The Planet, Daybreak Notes & Beans, and Screen Skills have proven track records and reliable schedules. More is an experiment.
I can’t promise this will succeed in the long term. If it doesn’t develop into something sustainable, I’ll refund paid subscribers proportionally for the remaining time on their subscriptions. You’re backing creative exploration, not a finished product.
Why Support More?
Supporting More means supporting the whole ecosystem—not just this newsletter, but everything I create. It’s the space where I experiment with ideas that eventually feed into my other work. Your support makes that exploration possible.
About Alexander Verbeek
I’m a Dutch journalist and former diplomat, often writing from Oslo, Norway, or from a village on a Dutch island. I publish The Planet (politics and environment), Daybreak Notes & Beans (positive news), Screen Skills (digital literacy), and maintain a Patreon for travel stories. More is where all those worlds overlap.
