One of the best things about writing is when you build a tribe. You might call them loyal readers; I like to call them friends. If you write consistently, your tribe will find you. Austin Kleon says all you have to do is show your work, and the readers will follow.
Over the years, I have found this tribe through many platforms starting with Medium. Now I find the readers through my true crime work and this newsletter.
These readers support you with everything, will read everything you write and respond to your newsletters. Give me one of these friends before a hundred followers.
One of the people I consider a friend who discovered me through my writing was Linda George, and I'm so excited to say that she has launched her brand new oddities newsletter. What a brilliant newsletter it is, too. In this all-too-serious world, this is a welcome break.
Check it out; you will not be disappointed. This lovely lady deserves major success with this. Did I also mention she is an accomplished author? You could disappear down a rabbit hole of her writing for weeks.
If you enjoy this email, please share it so more readers can find it.
Until next week stay safe
Sam 😊
