Well, I took the plunge. I cancelled my subscription to Mailerlite and am pivoting away from newsletter as my author presence and main method of marketing
https://preview.mailerlite.com/v0o6r2.

The pandemic has changed things in more ways then one, and with the slow pace of my novel-writing, it just doesn’t make sense to me to keep paying for a service I don’t use.
And so I guess I’ll be stopping the main marketing ways I’ve used for the last few years: newsletter swaps and reader magnets for mailing list signup.
Instead I guess I’ll continue what I’ve been doing here on the blog with book reviews (no matter how said or tired I get, I always read. And with my memory issues I have to review books or in a year I’ll end up re-reading the because I forgot!) and post on Twitter and Facebook more.
And keep writing. Anyway, it’s been fun. See you between the pages.
