Writers' Connection Inaugural Author Newsletter
Author Insights Volume 01 - Where Creativity Meets Publication
Welcome to the Newsletter!
This new format marks the inaugural newsletter for Writers’ Connection member authors who have created an author profile on the website at writers-connection.com. This newsletter will officially replace the quarterly update email authors have been receiving. I am posting this on Substack for a preview of what to expect from this new communication. All future newsletters will be available on the paid side and also on the website for free.
We hope you enjoy this monthly read and find information that you can learn from, participate in, and apply to your book writing and publishing plans. Our goal is to bring the publishing world to you. We are so excited to have you as a part of this fast-growing author and publishing community! If you are an author and have not visited the website, head on over now and create a free author profile. Thank you in the most sincere way for your support as Writers’ Connection would not exist without each and every one of you.
