1) I use MailChimp, but I’ve heard a couple of friends recently recommend Flodesk. All of my info about it is second-hand, but the folks I’ve heard from rave about it.

2) I don’t personally read short stories outside of book format very often. When I do I tend to read them on someone’s site where I’m not going to lose it if I put it off for a while before getting to it. But I rarely even go back to read one on a blog; I’m just not a big digital fiction person.

3) I have no idea. I pretty much just expect that people who want to get my blog posts will subscribe through my site to get WordPress’s email updates, and then I manually put links in my update emails at the end of a month or a quarter or whatever. I haven’t looked into whether you can set up a newsletter service to auto-send blog posts.
