Every two weeks I send out a newsletter with fresh writing, useful marketing ideas, high-spirited shenanigans. I love writing it. My goal is for you to love getting it. Are you on the list? annhandley.com/newsletter/

Every other Sunday I pour my heart & soul into a letter that goes out to my email list. 💌 And every other Sunday I get a handful of people who complain it’s too long. If you can’t spend 10 minutes with me every other week, I don’t have time for you, either. Stop writing in.

Today is a milestone day!! 💌 My personal newsletter hit 20k subscribers! That’s modest by a lot of measures, but I’m grateful for every single person who invites me into their inbox every other Sunday morning. You are my Doris (Dorises? Dori?) 😍 THANK YOU! 🍻 🎉📬 #20kDorises

Just had someone unsub from my newsletter because she said it was 1) too long, 2) she didn't like my photo in Sunday's issue. Long? OK. But this is literally the 1st time I used my face as the header image. But my god it was with TINA. FEY. #notsorry #notmydoris #CMWorld #bye

Someone just unsubbed from my personal newsletter this morning because I “bragged” about “violating quarantine.” I “violated” quarantine by letting my dying dog’s best friend into my house to say goodbye to her; to give Abby one last moment of joy. If that’s “bragging,” so be it.

I got this in my inbox this morning, in response to my last newsletter: "I clicked on your newsletter to unsubscribe because I'm trying to simplify my inbox. Then I started reading... and changed my mind. I'm staying." New email metric, maybe? CTUNM = Click-To-Unsub-Never-Mind 😆

Why is it that I read a blog post draft 37 times and never see the 4 glaring, obvious typos until I hit PUBLISH? Just me?

Dear Twitter: "Can we get more characters?" Twitter Dev: "SURE! HERE!" Dear Twitter: "Can we get rid of hate speech?" Twitter Dev: "On it." Dear Twitter: "New layout?" Twitter Dev: "Done!" Dear Twitter: "Edit button..?" Twitter Dev: <maniacal laughter> "HA! NO! NEVER!"

I am legit furious about this. Please RT and help me make some noise. At my wit's end, TBH.

Dear Everyone: Please don't buy ANY paperback version of Everybody Writes. THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PAPERBACK version, even though @amazon wants you to think there it. It has for sale an inferior printing that appears on the book's Amazon page and looks legit. IT IS NOT. 😡 #dukesup
