allordeThis newsletter is informative and educative, I think it has served its purpose the most, keep editing and publishing.

Annette Author IconMail IconThank you for featuring "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. *Delight*
I think a monthly contest run via the newsletter would be fun. If you did, you should link to the entries, at least to the winning entries at the bottom of the newsletter in the ask & answer section so that the winners get that additional exposure. Ideally, the contest would switch up genres and switch between short stories and poetry. You could also run a monthly contest based on the creation of contest/activity forum pages, in & outs, surverys, etc.
