Grammar Girl here. I'm in Yon Fogarty, and today's show was originally released back in May as a bonus segment for our Grammar Pellusians, our supporters. If you want to become a Grammar Flusian too, visit Quick and Dirty Tips.com to learn more. And now on to the show. Greetings, Gramer Palusians. I'm here today

with Jane Friedman. This is your bonus episode. If you listen to the main episode, you'll hear

a whole rundown of her new book, the business of being a writer, and sort of what's changed

over the years in publishing. It's very interesting, but she also, she has two very successful

email newsletters. And I thought today we would benefit from learning about those newsletters.

Jane's one of the leading experts in the publishing industry. She has newsletters,

builds a website, social media courses, books. She helps writers understand the business of writing

and building a successful life as a writer.

Jane Friedman, thank you so much for being here. Thank you.

So you have two email newsletters. And can you quick just give like a rundown of what they are and how they're different?

Yeah. The first one, the biggest one, is electric speed. So this launched around

2009. And it began by me getting conference goers, people who attended my classes in person to

sign up for my newsletter so I could stay in touch. And then later on, as time progressed,

most of the people signing up came from my website, people who are reading my blog. So as of today,

it has more than 30,000 subscribers. It's entirely free. It comes out every two weeks. And it,

you know, it has a little personal note from me, share some digital tools and resources that I've discovered.

And I also have a reader recommendation section.

So that's it in a nutshell.

It's meant to be light.

I don't typically get very serious with it.

You should be able to go through it in a couple minutes.

Yeah. I like it.
