Fantastic newsletters for writers

Hello there

Welcome to another edition of Unslush Weekly, the newsletter for writers written by real-life me, Iain Broome, just sitting here typing it now.

It's been another busy week here in the writing shed, so all I want to tell you is that I am still adding resources to the Unslush directory I mentioned a few weeks ago. I still think you will like it. And my guess is it will be with you at the start of the new year.

Oh! Should mention that the image above is the homepage for Stoop, which is a great app for managing and reading all your lovely newsletters.

That's it. Nothing else to say.

Enjoy the links. Make good stuff. Forward this to your friends.

8. How to write a killer opening – lots of good, practical tips, as we like it.
