Founding writers program

We're looking for ten Arab writers who already have readers

If you write an Arabic newsletter with readers on another platform, we'll move it to Mujaz for you, and the first year is on us. We want to build Mujaz with real writers, not guess what they need.

We read every application ourselves and reply by email.

Who it's for

01

You write in Arabic

An Arabic newsletter, or a bilingual one where Arabic leads.

02

You have readers

We prefer lists of 1,000 readers or more, but we read every application, whatever the size.

03

You're thinking of moving

You write on Substack, Hodhod, Kitabh, LinkedIn or elsewhere today, and want a platform made for Arabic.

What you get

The first year free

On the plan your list needs, with everything in it.

A founding price

After year one you stay on a special price below the plan price, fixed for as long as you're with us. We agree it with you before you start.

We move your list

We import your readers and set up your public page, your brand and your first issue with you.

A place on Discover

We feature your newsletter on Discover, where readers browse Arabic newsletters.

Your list is yours

Export your readers any time. No contract, no commitment.

A direct line to us

You talk to the people who build Mujaz, and what you tell us shapes what we build next.

What we ask

Three small things, for a whole year:

  • A small "Sent with Mujaz" line at the bottom of your newsletter.
  • A short story about your experience, published only once you approve it.
  • Your honest feedback: what's missing and what gets in your way.

How it works

  1. 1

    You apply

    Two minutes: your name, your newsletter link and where you write today.

  2. 2

    We read your newsletter

    We review the application ourselves and reply by email.

  3. 3

    We move your list

    We agree on the plan, import your readers and set up your page with you.

  4. 4

    You send your first issue

    From Mujaz, in Arabic, exactly as you wrote it.

Questions

Why free?+

Because we're early, and we want to build Mujaz with writers who have real readers. Your first year with us is what teaches us what to build.

What happens after the first year?+

You move to the founding price, which is below the normal plan price and stays fixed for you. We agree it with you before you start, and nothing is charged without you knowing.

Will I lose my readers?+

No. We move your list with you, and it stays yours: export it any time. Your past issues stay where they are on your current platform.

Does my newsletter have to be big?+

There's no required number. We prefer 1,000 readers or more because the program is small, but we read every application.

What if I'm not accepted?+

You can start on Mujaz with the free plan any time, and move to a paid plan when you need one.
