You can grow your list by adding a signup form to your website, or by joining group promos with web apps like BookFunnel and StoryOrigin. If you'd like to do some paid advertising, I'd recommend AMS, paid social media ads, or BookBub instead. Paying for email lists usually doesn't offer good returns. Hope that helps!(less)

Time Travel at the Speed of One’s Thumb

Confession: I listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed. It’s like watching a movie in fast-forward. Slight fast-forward. It’s not double the pace—it’s just halfway there. The effect is podcasters who sound peppy, caffeine-wired, and a little like Alvin and the Chipmunks. They also tend to speakinsuchawaythatalltheirwordlumptogether. My wife razzes me about such silliness. But once […]

message 2: by Kyle

Kyle A Massa Hi Mrs. Fisher! Yup, I read another of his collections for school. He's a really excellent writer and seems to be a brilliant guy (his fiction can get pretty dark and nasty, though, just as a warning). He's also written quite a bit of nonfiction about the media, the economy, and more. I think you'd enjoy him!

P.S. Did you know he's a writing professor at SU?


message 1: by Karen

Karen Hey Kyle, George Saunders is coming to Syracuse next Spring for the FOCL group. I noticed you recommended one of his short story books. Have you read any others?
