Hello and Welcome!
About This Newsletter
Whether you're here because you want to be first to know when I have a new book or event to announce, or whether you're here because you're an aspiring author in need of advice and guidance, you've come to the right place.
With this newsletter, my plan is to provide you with:
1). A FREE weekly round-up of book and event updates for all subscribers, as well as special bulletins when I have exciting news.
2). Two or three special writing advice posts per month exclusively for paying subscribers.
Free subscribers are always very welcome, but if you're an aspiring author and you choose to upgrade to the paid option, that's only $7 (less than the price of a coffee and a Danish in LA) for two or three in-depth posts filled with my experience and hard-won tips – delivered straight to your inbox each month.
If you subscribe today, you'll get full access to the website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. Your subscription makes this site possible, and allows Gareth's Newsletter to continue to exist. Thank you!
