Some authors publish free pitches and keep others behind a paywall. Subscribing unlocks that author’s premium content. It is separate from following, which is free and only adds them to your follow feed. The screens below use Aurelion Research, an Elite author whose later pitches are premium.

​
Find a premium pitch

Open the author’s profile. Locked cards show a Premium tag, a short lock message, and Get Access.

Locked pitches on an author page. Get Access opens the plan picker. Preferred partners often show a Yellowbrick Premium discount on the card.

You can also hit a locked pitch from Home or from the pitch page itself. The same Get Access button opens the unlock dialog.

Choose a plan

1

Click Get Access

The dialog is titled Unlock plus the author name. It shows their badge, bio, and the plans they sell.
2

Pick yearly or monthly

Yearly is usually cheaper per month. Monthly is easier to cancel. The primary button updates to Continue with Yearly or Continue with Monthly.
3

Check the Premium discount

If the author is a preferred partner, Yellowbrick Premium subscribers get a discount on that author’s plan (often 30%). If you are not on Premium yet, the dialog offers the discount if you upgrade. If you already have Premium, the discounted price is applied.
4

Continue to checkout

Complete payment. After that, premium pitches from this author unlock.

Unlock dialog for Aurelion Research. Choose yearly or monthly. Preferred partners discount the author plan if you have Yellowbrick Premium.

Typical subscription benefits (wording varies by author):
  • Full access to that author’s premium content
  • Discord access to their channels, when they offer it
  • Q&A or AMA sessions, when they offer it
Some authors also sell a single pitch instead of a full subscription. If that option is available, it appears under the plan list.

Follow vs subscribe

Yellowbrick Premium is a platform plan. It does not replace an author’s paywall. See Yellowbrick Premium for what the membership includes and how discounts apply.
Prices and discounts in the screenshots are examples from Aurelion Research. Always check the live dialog for the current plan.
