Start from Scratch Newsletters

• Pre-Registration Required

Act I/II

3 Sessions

Do you need to start a newsletter but have no idea where to begin? This hands-on, three-session practicum is designed specifically for writers who want to stop procrastinating and start building an email list that works.

Participants will receive step-by-step instruction and real-time implementation. Attendees will leave with a fully functioning email newsletter, a reusable template, and the confidence to send it regularly while actively growing their subscriber list.

This class combines brief teaching segments with guided work time, making space for plenty of personalized feedback, questions and answers, and tech support. It’s ideal for authors who are starting from zero or who have struggled to get their email list off the ground.

What we’ll cover:
• Clarifying the purpose of your newsletter so it aligns with your goals
• Creating a reusable, professional-looking email template
• Setting up signup forms, automations, and welcome sequences
• Tips to confidently write and send engaging emails—even if you feel stuck
• How to invite people to subscribe without sounding salesy

By the end of this workshop, participants will walk away with a functioning automation, newsletter template, a clear plan for content and growth, and the tools to manage their email list with ease and consistency.

Class Requirements:
To participate fully, attendees must have a custom domain email and begin their email service provider setup prior to the conference.
