Hi friends,

That subject line isn’t clickbait. It’s actually really bad.

For my Patreon essay this month, I wrote about the terrible and shocking thing I hadn’t realized about those scammy writer emails many of us have been getting.

It’s important enough that I’ve left it open for everyone to read. LINK IS HERE. If you’re a writer who has published anything, or plan to, it will be relevant to you.

It’s changed the way I handle those emails completely. Please feel free to share with anyone it might help.

In the meantime, we write! We bring our own light into the world. Your light matters.

Onward,

❤️ Rachael
