Want free writing coaching from me?

You can have it.

If you have a newsletter (aka mailing list), this is especially for you.

More than 1,052 people have already signed up (including my mom, a woman of discerning taste), which is blowing my mind! May is gonna be bananas! And coconuts! And papayas! And all the fruits!

Even if you don’t write newsletters (you write blog posts, articles, essays, books, reports, proposals, personal emails to clients, or something else), you might want to sign up anyway, because you’ll still gain a lot of great writing tips that apply to all genres and formats.

I’m so excited to motivate you, nudge you, push you (gently, of course), and help you write, write, write all throughout the month of May.

Who’s IN?

-Alex

PS. Soothe your spirit today with gorgeous music by Jon Batiste.

PPS. For all the parents out there...and because Mother's Day is coming up soon-ish...here's an old piece I wrote 5 years ago: "A letter to my mom." And to all moms. It was true all those years ago. Still true today.

PPPS. Congratulations are in order!

I run a program called Newsletter Magic, which is all about how to write an excellent newsletter that people love reading, and how to grow a bigger readership for your work. You can get a 30-day free trial here.

Every month in the program, we do a writing challenge or list-building challenge. First person to complete each challenge wins a special prize. (Although, of course, everyone is a winner because taking action to reach your goals is always a winning move!)

Today, I wanted to shine a spotlight on a few recent winners. Congratulations to:

- Dina, a yoga teacher and creative writing instructor. Dina's newsletter includes "tips on mindfulness, yoga, writing, creativity" and "self-care practices that promote rest, healing, resilience, and confidence."

- Heather who writes The Intentional Energy Newsletter. Get weekly tips to help you "reduce stress, increase your energy, prioritize what's most important to you, and achieve your goals." And who doesn't want that?

- Sylvie, who loves writing her newsletter about personal development is known as a "compass" for training and coaching. She writes in French and in English, too.

- Anna is fluent in Swedish and English and writes prolifically in both. She especially loves writing about marketing, sales, and how to build a strong and resilient mind.

Please go support these wonderful humans. Send them an email. Congratulate them. Send a compliment. Or join their mailing lists, if you’re intrigued by their work.

PPPPS. I don't know who needs to hear this today, but please step away from your digital device for a moment, move your body for 10 minutes, and drink a big glass of water. You will feel better.
