Hi Friend,

“The best time to do it was yesterday, and the second best time is today.”

Yes, I'm a big fan of you starting an email newsletter list, if you haven't already.

In “Email Marketing and List Building for Authors with Philip Duncan, Part 3,” I share the final installment of my conversation with Philip where he recommends how frequently authors should send out email newsletters to readers and explains what a “reader magnet” means.

He also advises on how you can get started in creating your own author newsletter.

Hi, I'm Beth Barany, fiction writing teacher, creativity coach, and novelist.

Here's my ABOUT:

Beth Barany is an award-winning science fiction and fantasy novelist, and certified creativity coach for writers, and runs the podcast, How To Write The Future.

She specializes in helping writers experience clarity, so they can write, revise, and proudly publish their novels to the delight of their readers.
Her courses are packed with useful hands-on information that you can implement right away. Her transformational consulting sessions help you step into the author life you want with ease and joy.

She runs an online school for fiction writers, including a 12-month group coaching program to help them develop an editing practice and get published.

More resources on publishing, book marketing, and novel writing are on her blog, for and by creative writers, Writer's Fun Zone.

When she's not helping writers, Beth writes magical tales of romance, mystery, and adventure that empower women and girls to be the heroes of their own lives.

For fun, Beth loves walking her hilly neighborhood, puttering in her garden, and watching YouTube videos about the space industry. Beth lives in Oakland, California with her husband, Ezra Barany, also a novelist, and their cats.
