Welcome to our community and two requests
Hello all,
I want to welcome the scores of new subscribers to Chip’s Writing Lessons newsletter. Your participation has swelled our community to more than 1,000 members. And thanks to the folks who've already been here along our journey.
I hope, all of you, new and old, find in it instruction and inspiration that aids your writing, editing, teaching and learning
I can’t be sure, but I suspect many of you were motivated to join by the link appended to ”My Favorite Dessert,” a flash nonfiction essay that appeared Sunday in the Sunday Short Reads newsletter published by Creative Nonfiction magazine. If so, thanks for reading. If not, I hope you’ll spend a minute--that's all it takes -- checking it out.
I wanted to ask two favors if you don’t mind.
If there’s one person you think would benefit from the interviews, craft lessons, writing tips and more that appear every two weeks in this newsletter, would you suggest they subscribe
@ https://www.chipswritinglessons.com/newsletter/I am working on a book titled "33 Ways Not to Screw Up Journalism," and am conducting an informal survey. If you had to suggest a way or ways not to screw up journalism, what would they be and why, based on your experiences as a journalist or news consumer? I'd appreciate it if you could send your reply to me at chipscan@gmail.com, unless it's more convenient for you to respond on this platform.
Many thanks!
Chip
