Subscribers to the free platform will receive an email in their inbox every two weeks where the Rocket will answer reader questions and speak his mind on snooker topics as well as current affairs.
O’Sullivan – who got married this summer – feels social media channels, which are ruled by an algorithm, do not allow him to speak directly to his fanbase and sometimes prohibit authenticity.
The Essex potter – who turns 50 in December – is understood to be the first high-profile sportsman or woman in the UK to trial a newsletter.
American basketballer Russell Westbrook, a point guard for NBA side Denver Nuggets, pens a similar newsletter in the US.
And Australian cult musician Nick Cave frequently publishes the Red Hand Files where he tells his followers: “You can ask me anything. There will be no moderator. This will be between you and me.”
Over time, the seven-time world snooker champion will release photos and maybe even videos of his time behind-the-scenes at snooker tournaments.
The plan is to talk about his greatest rivalries, favourite frames, favourite venues, his new club in Hong Kong – where he has residency – and other facets of his illustrious career.
Punters have already submitted their questions online in the hope of quizzing the potting genius.

When it was announced last month on his X account, O’Sullivan teased: “The Break is coming No cameras. No edits. Just me talking straight.
“Snooker, rivalries, regrets, life, mindset. Nothing off limits. But first I want to hear from you.”
O’Sullivan told SunSport: “I think The Break gives me the chance to do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time – speak to my fans directly.
“They can send me questions, I’ll answer the best ones every couple of weeks, and we can have a good bit of interaction.
“And I’ll be showing what goes on at the big tournaments, real behind-the-scenes stuff that I don’t think happens on social media.“
World No.5 O’Sullivan – who was defeated by Kyren Wilson in the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals – is next in action at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters on Tuesday.
