Happy half-birthday to us. We’re a tiny community but we’re dedicated and we’re growing. A million thanks to everyone who has engaged with the publication, and especially to those of you who have been recommending it.

The newsletter is still free, and my intention is to keep it that way for the foreseeable future (I wrote about why in this article.)

If you haven’t been here since the beginning - or even if you have - you might be interested in checking out my article on Medium about making a difference with your writing: the piece that started it all. It went low-key viral, making me think I could maybe build a whole community around this topic, and I’m so glad I did.

You can also see a running list of all the top posts at Change The World With Words - updated weekly.
