This episode is a two-parter.
Part one: Newsletters. Are they worth it?
Dave Press worked as an online journalist for MTV, Comic Book Resources, and Gawker circa 2010. His writing about pop culture morphed into his own personal newsletter years later, which he’s honed to perfection.
But writers also use newsletters to promote their books and other projects. Is that still working? What’s up with platforms like Substack? How does it work?
Part two of the conversation: Ever wonder how some books get published? While we tend to hold ourselves accountable for our careers, acting like it’s a meritocracy, things beyond our control —such as nepotism and circumstance — play undeniable roles.
Join Tim and Dave for a deep dive into newsletters and networking on Stories We Tell.
