I send a newsletter to subscribers to keep readers posted about what's next. If you go to my page, I just posted the copy for my newest newsletter. If you have some suggestions to make it better, I'd appreciate it!
Also, I blogged today at www.boxingoctopus.blogspot.com about "Staying Published." I 'fess up about "publishing's dirty little secret." The life of a romance writer isn't all bon-bons & feather boas.
You can subscribe to my newsletter on the home pages of my websites. I have a mailing list through Bravenet, but I'm thinking of looking for a different provider because one of my subscribers thinks she's being spammed by them. I don't know if it's so. No one else has complained.
My newsletter, Reboot Your Life™, is through Zinester and is free. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to subscribe to Zinester to get the newsletter and see the archives. However, other than that I really like their setup.
Thank you for posting the links to your website, Emily.
