Email newsletters are a powerful way for writers to develop an engaged audience of readers — where people who appreciate and support your work will actually receive your writing. If you are hoping to grow your platform as a writer, and have been discouraged by the ways social media has changed, email newsletters are a powerful tool to develop. 

Established authors know that newsletters are a great way to get pre-orders for their books, encourage more reviews, and find new opportunities for their writing. If you are someone who wants to have a clear public voice that feels both authentic and strategic, an email newsletter is one of the best ways to do so. Newsletters are not just a way to “email news to people.” They can have a huge impact on finding your readers, keeping them engaged with your writing, and selling books.

This course will be packed with actionable strategies, clear examples, and advice that comes from in-the-trenches experience with writers.
