Are you a writer, Reader?

The reason I ask is because many readers also write.

I write this newsletter, for example, plus many other nice thingys.

But I've never written a book.

That would be hard.

Have you ever done it? Or tried it?

Hard! 😮‍💨

As a reader, I'm certain that I take for granted all the hard work that goes into the books I read. I can't fathom it.

For a mere $14.99 or $9.99 or (sheesh!) $1.99, I can buy the work of years, read it in a week, and review it in minutes.

Today, I want to show authors some LOVE!

Authors work hard. What they do is important. How can we support them (besides buying their books)?

I've been teasing this article in my last couple of newsletters, and it's ready for you!

​Here are 9 easy ways you can support authors you love.​

When I say "easy" I mean it.

You can probably do two or three of the things on this list in the time it takes to drink your morning coffee.

Please leave me a comment with other ideas that I didn't think of.

And go out there and shower an author with 💓.
