A cover reveal, AI, and goats 🐐


Hi Reader,

This week's writing process has a little bit of everything: suspense, a book give-away, and goats!

First, it's time to reveal the cover for my upcoming book....

Want to see the rest? Scroll to the bottom of the email. (That's the Suspense part!)

August book drawing

August marks one year of The Writer’s Voice. To celebrate, I’m giving away two print copies of the book to people on this list. (If you bought the ebook on sale earlier this month, thank you! The print version would make a lovely companion.)

To enter, respond to this email with one adjectives that describes the kind of writing voice you would like to have. (Profound? Funny? Serious? Provocative?)

Where do the goats come in?

What are your thoughts on AI and writing? When is it okay to use AI to generate text for you, and when is it probably not?

We’re all figuring this out in real time. And for my own answer, I’m turning to goats. Yes, grazing goats! See if the goats work for you.

The cover reveal

You made it this far! Here's the cover of my next book, The Curious Reader's Field Guide to Nonfiction.

It's coming out in October. You'll hear a lot more about it next time, so stay tuned!
