Some do it quarterly, others monthly, and some prolific ones do it weekly. Since everyone is doing it, why not join in?
Doing what? Creating Author Newsletters!
Although blog posts and social media can reach a lot of readers, authors desire an even more intimate relationship with their readers, and sending out an author newsletter via email–one that will land in the Inbox of each individual reader who requests it–is one way to achieve a more personal connection.
So, this author wants a more intimate relationship with you! I’m going to start a monthly newsletter, and I’d be oh so grateful if you would sign up to subscribe to it–and ask all your friends and family to do the same!
