Creating The Perfect Newsletter
For many authors, the Perfect Newsletter is like the alchemist’s philosophical stone: if we get it right, we can turn our books to gold!

Now I know our readers/subscribers are the experts.
I hope you’re having a lovely summer. We are suffering 100° heart in my corner of Texas.
Best, Jackie Weger
