Hello, readers!

I hope your August has been a good one! 👋

This might be a bit of a surprise to you, but I’m changing email newsletter platforms! 📧

I mentioned back in my July 28th newsletter and my August 1st 2026 writing blog post that I needed time to step back and assess what to do next in my writing journey. One of those things that I’ve decided to do next is change email newsletter platforms!

After some testing and experimenting, I’ve discovered that EmailOctopus will be a good newsletter platform to send all of you emails from, moving forward! 🐙

I’ve tested it out myself to make sure the emails shouldn’t end up in spam. Fortunately, said tests are mostly successful, so my next email to you (from EmailOctopus) should make it to your inbox with no issues. 👍

ALSO fortunately: You don’t have to do anything about this change.

If you’re already subscribed to my newsletter through Buttondown, then you’re already subscribed to my new one on EmailOctopus! 🎉

If you’re worried that you might miss my emails, however, make sure to whitelist [email protected] (the address that I’ll be sending newsletter emails from for EmailOctopus) for future communications from me.

HOWEVER: If you’re a reader who isn’t subscribed to my newsletter and is just reading this on the web, all you have to do is click right here to subscribe to the newsletter!

Thanks for your patience and your support. It means a lot to me as I start the next phase of my author journey! ❤️

Also, keep an eye out on my blog for a September 2026 writing update, giving more details on how I will continue my journey in more detail. ✍️ It’ll be coming Sept. 1st (TOMORROW), so stay tuned!
