I’ve been writing my newsletter for three years.
I share tips on making a full-time income as a writer, and I give away stuff for free.
Last week, it got its first sponsor!

30-Day Writing Challenge
Last February, I completed a 30-Day Writing Challenge.
Writers from around the world took part.
It was a huge success, with lots of amazing feedback:
During the challenge, I held “open office hours”.
This weekly session was an opportunity for writers to hop on a call with me and chat about anything they wanted.
I ended up chatting with seven writers over four weeks.
