Hi there,

It's been a little while since I've last sent an email newsletter. Truthfully, I needed a break from emails and social media. The past 6-8 months have been especially intense. With everything going on nationally, globally, and some things personally, I just didn't have the bandwidth to give my clients 100% while also creating worthwhile content. I wonder if you've been feeling similar. If you've been in my circles for a bit, you know I already ascribe to a seasonal approach to marketing, but this was the longest break I'd taken in a while.

As I took a step back from marketing-as-usual, I focused on rest, restoration, and recalibration. Just like you with your writing, if the work I create isn't quality, there's no point in marketing it. I finally feel now, like I'm making some big breakthroughs (thank jeebus.) and I look forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks and months.

I've committed myself to new ways of helping you build your author career. Today, I'm delighted to share a couple of those resources!

If you're sick of the marketing overload out there and you're ready to work on your career in meaningful ways that feel in alignment rather than at odds with who you are, stay tuned. I've got more fun stuff coming. In the meantime...
