share your work

Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Hi Friend,

We write to be read.

Hence, we need to share our work.

BTW, have your read the lovely book, Show Your Work by Austin Kleon?

I highly recommend it.

It changed the way I think about book marketing.

My takeaway:

Even fiction writers deep in their writing caves can share their work.

How?

Share your writing space, your story inspirations, your creative influences, etc.

Have you read Austin's book?

Segue...

Head's up!
