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)

A Fistful of Candies

The night was cold and desolate, the sky an eerie shade of brackish blue, patches of fog floating low like wraiths, and through it all, somewhere along a deserted street, trudged a Ghost, a KPop Demon Hunter, and a Josh Allen. The Ghost gnawed his lower lip, though his companions couldn’t see it through his […]

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?
