Please keep doing whatever works for you in the exact way it works for you. And at the exact pace that works for you. Because it all starts with you. And it ends up in front of us. And it’s useful consistently. This sounds exciting. Just remember us little people every now and then when you become a major Influencer.

It sounds like a great idea. I hope it’s not all too overwhelming.

Sounds wonderful. Getting some interviews with the publishers of small, indie presses would be phenomenal. A couple of years ago, during their Summer Fitness, Smokelong ran a series of these and it was so helpful and interesting.

Great news. I find your newsletters to be essential reading. I read every single one.

Exciting news - thanks for letting us know! Re your funny: I have recently, carefully, deliberately chosen an author photo for my soon-to-be poetry collection that looks exactly like the person who did the writing. We'll see...

Unsolicited advice from your mother--you have a problem with that? What do you think aging mothers are for, anyway? Barbara Bolton

The problem is Beyond Lit Mag reminds me of Beyond Craft, Joe's site.

How will this be different from what Jane Friedman covers in Electric Speed and The Bottom Line?

Becky Tuch's avatar

Jane and I may have some overlap. She does great work. But to be sure, or content will be different. Mostly because I'm brassy and goofy and opinionated and Jane (miraculously) always remains extremely professional and keeps her cool!

Also there should be lively discussion in the comments, as always!
