I have been trying to convince writers of the value of a consistent email newsletter for more than a decade. Recently I dug up a 2014 presentation I gave at the James River Writers Conference, where the first slide says, “Email is not dead.” After that slide, I quoted novelist Dana Stabenow, who gave an inspirational talk where she couldn’t resist offering a practical tip at the end: “Remember this if you remember nothing else from my speech tonight.

Yes, he works in advertising, and it is *his job* to know how to tap into those human emotions, motivations, and aspirations. But he does it with such… finesse. The thing is: Lots of people tell stories.

Why do they continue to outsell so many other genres, when the story’s outcome in all cases is a given?
