Welcome to Change The World With Words

New around here? Let me show you around.

If you’re reading this, you likely want to know more about what the newsletter is about and how it can support you in your quest to be a potentially world-changing wordsmith.

My aim is to help you:

• Find your writing voice

• Write with impact about the ideas, topics and causes that matter to you

• Build a body of work you’re proud of

• Grow an audience of readers who love your work

• Earn more by working less, so you have more time for what matters

The weekly newsletter arrives in your inbox every Sunday morning, with a short actionable tip you can use to help you create world-changing work. The newsletter is completely free and you can unsubscribe at any time.

(You may be asked to pledge money when you subscribe. Just click ‘no pledge’ to proceed for free. I allow people to pledge money just to gauge if people would be willing to support a paid version of the newsletter in the future. My pledge to you is that there will ALWAYS be a free option too.)

The newsletter will also include links to some of the amazing writing advice I’ve found online that week, and an update on what I’m reading, watching or listening to, if I think you might like it too.

You’ll also get access to all the writing I post over on Medium (that’s usually behind a paywall - but you get my special friend links so you can read for free).

Here are all the things you can do to let me help you in your writing journey:

1. Subscribe to Change The World With Words now (if you haven’t already) for weekly inspiration and actionable advice on how your writing can make the world a better place.

2. If you’re a Medium member, you can follow me or subscribe to my email notifications to read my articles as soon as they’re published.

3. Check out my Kindle book Free Tools For Writers, Bloggers & Solopreneurs (or get a free sample chapter here).

4. Consider my Success Kit for Freelance Writers (you can get a 50% discount here) or my other digital products.

5. Follow me on Twitter/X, Substack Notes, BlueSky, or Facebook for regular writing tips.

6. Check out my Books For Writers store on Amazon for all my top recommendations, or see my list of recommended resources for writers.

7. Find all the top posts from the newsletter (for free - and even if you’re not yet subscribed) here.

I work hard to create the weekly newsletter for free and I want to be sure everyone can access it, even if they’re on a $0 budget. If you can afford it, and you want to, you can buy me a cup of tea (or even a book) as a little reward!

I look forward to welcoming you to my little tribe of arguably over-ambitious writers. Let’s change the world for the better, together.
