Email is my preferred medium, and I started sending in 2009. Currently I have about 40,000 people who receive something from me. I only send what you ask for; you can unsubscribe at any time. I never sell or share my list or send “email blasts” from advertisers.
My oldest & biggest newsletter, established in 2009
Electric Speed is for all types of creative people. I share tools and resources, plus curate reader recommendations. Readers say they open every issue because they know something useful will be inside. I send it every other week on Saturday mornings and it has a relaxed weekend vibe. Even people who don’t typically subscribe to newsletters say they like it.

Daily or weekly digest of new articles at this website
Established in 2010, this website offers a treasure trove of free information to writers of all abilities and backgrounds. Every week I publish new articles on the craft of writing, as well as business advice, from guest contributors and from me.
- The “daily” includes the full text of every new free article.

Get updates on new online classes
Every month I teach online classes about the business side of writing and publishing. I also host classes by other instructors to help you improve your craft and technique.
This email newsletter is my second biggest in terms of subscribership because tens of thousands of people have taken my classes and are interested in taking more. Sent every 2 weeks.
