Showing Up is Ben Jakuben’s personal newsletter/publication on Substack, with benjakuben.com pointing to the Substack site. Its tagline is “Exploring the world and myself through writing both fiction and nonfiction,” which makes clear that the publication is centered on the author using fiction and nonfiction writing to document observations, share reflections, and explore the self.
The site’s main functionality is built around Substack’s newsletter model: readers can subscribe to receive new posts directly by email, browse the publication archives for past articles, and join discussions in the comments. The page also mentions that the Substack App offers ad-free reading, audio, and community features, but these are platform-level capabilities rather than features unique to this author.
The captured content does not show any specific paid pricing or membership tiers. It only includes a Subscribe button and wording such as “support this work with a subscription.” For now, it can only be determined that the publication supports subscriptions and may include a free or paid support model, but there is no confirmation of a paywall, monthly fee, or annual pricing.
The main advantage is that it runs on Substack, making the subscription process simple and email delivery relatively reliable, which is well suited for readers who want to follow an author over time. Its personal positioning is also fairly clear, with a focus on fiction and nonfiction, making it suitable for readers who enjoy author-driven content. The downside is that the publicly available information is limited: there is little detail on representative articles, posting frequency, the author’s background, or paid subscriber benefits. New readers may find it difficult to judge the value of the content based only on the About page.
It is suitable for English-language readers interested in personal essays, literary writing, nonfiction expression, and themes of self-exploration. It also fits people who prefer receiving updates by email rather than through social media. If you are looking for a structured course, a professional news source, or a utility-style product, this site is not a good match.
Substack’s accessibility in mainland China is not particularly stable. Users may experience slow loading, unreliable email delivery, or an inability to open the site in some network environments, so it should be considered “partially restricted.” If you plan to read it regularly, it is worth checking whether email subscriptions are delivered reliably.
