October Newsletter Topic Ideas + Co-Writing Thursday

Hi there.
At the start of each month, I share a few topic ideas for newsletter writers and an invitation to our monthly co-writing/peer feedback session. Co-writing is available for paid subscribers & is happening Thursday from 12 - 1:30 pm ET.
Here are a 3 newsletter topic ideas for this month:
- Tell a story about a Halloween costume you once wore. Relate this back to your work in some way - either who you are now, something you learned from a related experience, or general thoughts on childhood, fun, costumes, etc.
- October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, National Pizza Month and National Cookie Month. We also have World Teacher’s Day (Oct 5), Global Handwashing Day (Oct 15), and Fire Prevention Week (2nd week). Do you have a personal or professional connection to any of these? Pick one and tell a story about how it relates to the work you do.
- Do you have anything to say about fall festivals/harvest, bringing sweetness into our lives (candy!?), or cozy fall activity suggestions like favorite games, books, or local events?
October Co-Writing and Peer Feedback
Each month, paid subscribers have access to a live co-writing/peer feedback session + a peer feedback thread for those who want asynchronous feedback. This month’s co-writing session is Thursday, October 3 from 12-1:30 pm ET.
During co-writing, we’ll spend about an hour writing/working on newsletters, and an additional half-hour giving and receiving peer feedback. Bring a draft of your newsletter to work on 🖤 (Note that co-writing is not instructional - it’s quiet time to work on your newsletter, followed by 30 min in small groups to give/receive feedback.)
In case you can’t attend live co-writing, you can share a newsletter draft in the peer feedback thread.
Keep writing,
Camille
