Hiii! *bowls over with hug*
1) I use ConverterKit but I mean I haven’t actually even sent my first newsletter out yet so…so far I’ve like it, I can’t get any automations with the free version but I’m used to jimmying stuff and I’m sure I can burn that bridge when I get there XD. I was able to design my own landing page and import free royalties p…[Read more] -

This is a good idea. I almost mentioned something along the same lines. If you give readers PDFs of short stories that they can download and read like ebooks, or even if you just have them somewhere easy to find on your site, that can work well.

ConvertKit is a good newsletter service you might like! I’ve personally decided to go with MailChimp, but I have a few friends who use ConvertKit for their newsletters, and it works great for them.
I personally enjoy it when bloggers share short stories through newsletters. You could always have that as a little bonus at the end…[Read more]

1) I use MailChimp, but I’ve heard a couple of friends recently recommend Flodesk. All of my info about it is second-hand, but the folks I’ve heard from rave about it.
2) I don’t personally read short stories outside of book format very often. When I do I tend to read them on someone’s site where I’m not going to lose it if I put it off for a…[Read more]

Hi, all,
So I’m wanting to start an email newsletter soon. A couple of years ago I had one with MailChimp, but really didn’t like that service much. I want to try one again, especially since I’m on a mission to build an author platform without social media. I would love some advice from anyone else who has an email newsletter!
1) What service do…[Read more]

That would be an awkward thing to change there 😂 but it still looks fantastic! Oh man I’ve never touched Photoshop before but it’s a really popular graphic design program and I’ve heard it in almost anything graphic design-related.
Alright! She’ll be very excited to read it, I’ll ask her if she can fill out the questions she’ll probably catch a…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien I appreciate the advice, but unfortunately this is a premade cover and I can’t change anything more with paying a big fee. It does the job of saying “scifi” well enough, and I think that’s what I need it to do. I could adjust the typography by adding to it in Photoshop, but can’t replace it with different typography.
I got…[Read more]

I love the overall design, looks like a 3D software over a basic cube with randomized extruding and sophisticated modeling design for the ship imported to a black negative space with white dotting on a hazy brush layered over with a large semi-transparent haze-brush to blend the colors and a photographic stone framing at the bottom. So toggled…[Read more]

YES I HAVE IT!!!!!!! Thanks!!!
I’ll try to sent mine tonight *once I’ve gone through your beta questions and decided which ones to steal 😈* I already have a slot of time to devote to reading it so I can’t wait!!!

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic SciFi Beta Trading in the forum Sci-fi Writers 4 years, 6 months ago
@this-is-not-an-alien All right, I’ve send out an email. Thanks again!

Cathy replied to the topic SciFi Beta Trading in the forum Sci-fi Writers 4 years, 6 months ago
Thanks so much I can’t wait to read it!!!
I’m absolutely certain I sent it to that address 🥺 Maybe it’s my email having issues again, can you send anything to fantasywriter2018@outlook.com? If not I have two other emails I can try!

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic SciFi Beta Trading in the forum Sci-fi Writers 4 years, 6 months ago
@this-is-not-an-alien Thanks for all that voice explanation, and for your own example!
I don’t know what email address you were sending to, but my main address is itaylorclogston at gmail. I’ve not received anything from you at that address. Sorry for the confusion! I’ll send you a PDF since that sounds like it’ll work best.

I just kinda…*cough cough* made up that term coz it sounded descriptive 😂…But it’s just this thing I keep seeing that’s cool and I don’t know the actually word for it but you shift your style or voice three times in the summary:
