Beautiful Emails: How to Write the Only Newsletter Anyone Wants to Read

Live Zoom Session with Laura Belgray and Linda Sivertsen
90-minutes on September 13th, 12 noon Pacific

Great news: We’re in the age of the email newsletter, and they’re only getting hotter. Why is that great news? Because a newsletter is the best way to grow an audience, make them fall in love with you and your writing, tell your favorite personal stories, hone your voice, and—if you’re an author—SELL BEAUCOUP BOOKS.

And who better to open up her bag of tricks than email superstar Laura Belgray—author of the upcoming Tough Titties (via Hachette), Co-Creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo, Founder of Talking Shrimp, creator of Inbox Hero, her signature email copywriting course, and writer of one of the most-loved email newsletters in the online creative space. Fun fact: Not only do readers cite Laura’s emails as “the only ones I always open and read,” but they bring in over $1M a year in sales.

In this 90-minute training and Q&A, Laura and I will show you how to write emails that get your subscribers hanging on to your every word . . . and spreading the word about you.

The Writers’ Common Language: A Shared Vocabulary To Tell Better Stories

HELPFUL GUIDE FROM AUTHOR TIM GRAHL

Like many beginning writers, Tim Grahl struggled to learn his craft—and even to find the right words to describe his questions and challenges. After reading a library of how-to books, Tim found what he needed in the unique Story Grid approach.

With the help of editor, friend, and Story Grid creator Shawn Coyne, Tim discovered a new vocabulary—what he now calls The Writers’ Common Language. Learning this language can help us all think and talk about our stories with more clarity and specificity.

These days Tim is a top book marketing expert & author (who once helped catapult five clients on the New York Times Best Seller list at the SAME time!). In this book, Tim shares moments from his own journey as a storyteller and how the strategies and tools of Story Grid transformed the way he reads, writes, and edits his own work.

Finally, in this gem of an ebook (or paperback), you’ll find a breezy, brilliant way to wrap your mind around topics like Genre, Theme, Voice, Point of View, and Value Shift to level of up every project. “Once you can apply these tools to your own story,” Tim says, “you will be amazed at the progress you can make.”

When we speak in this writers’ common language, we can create community, learn from each other, and—most important—bring more great stories into the world. (Tim sells this book on his site. Priceless.)
