I’ve been trying to do a newsletter and/or regular posts for years. It keeps falling to the bottom of the priority list; it’s free information for writers in any stage of their writing career to help them navigate their journey through writing, editing, and publishing, and I’m kept extremely busy with my editorial and literary clients. It’s hard to find the time.
However, after much consideration, I’ve decided to grow my presence on Substack and have started a newsletter! It’s free for everyone! It’ll contain tips and how-to’s, answers to common questions, industry hot topics, exciting book news, etc. Still free, with some added benefits to those who would like to support my work.
Paid subscribers get access to commenting on posts/newsletters, chatting with other paid subscribers (and me, which is a chance to ask questions!), early access and discounts to courses I may run through Foxx Editorial, and a chance to have your query critiqued in a special monthly newsletter for paid subscribers only; if it’s selected, I’ll include it (anonymously) along with my feedback on what’s working well and what needs improvement. If I’m able and if there’s demand, I may change the frequency to bi-weekly. This will provide paid subscribers with the invaluable opportunity to get a free critique of one of the most important documents in their writing career, and share that knowledge and learning and growth with other writers. I’m very community-minded, after all!
Founding members will have all of that PLUS either a personal (not shared) critique of their query and synopsis OR of their first ten pages. Or if you prefer to have a 1-hour 1:1 call to brainstorm or ask industry-related questions or have a live critique, that’s an option too!
You can read the free newsletters of Kat’s Keynotes here! Please subscribe so you never miss a newsletter, and consider a paid subscription if you appreciate my work and want access to those helpful perks! 😉
Along with joining the Story Nerd podcast, I’m excited to continue this journey and hope I can help inspire writers and provide information that will help them grow their writing careers, no matter which path to publication you’re on.
