Recommended by Mary Chris Escobar

Helping writers and creators share their work and connect with readers in meaningful ways. Digging deep into marketing, book launches, and platform development. Get my weekly newsletter every Friday.

I recommended Dan's newsletter countless times over the years before he moved to Substack, so it only makes sense to add The Creative Shift to my list here. Dan makes marketing seem less daunting and WAY more authentic!

Shangrilogs

By Kelton Wright

High altitude relocation, recreation, and renovation in a town of 180 people (and 51 dogs.)

Inspiration, motivation, and conversation to help creative folks achieve their goals. Plus snacks!

Always hits just right with the thoughts on the writing process (and especially juggling that with other full-time work). Snack content also much appreciated!
