So happy to have found your newsletter! Thanks for the good info and honest peek into your experience. I chuckled at the Venn diagram because I immediately imagined my “people want to buy” dot as a lonely island, way out to sea. Haha. It’s a good reminder to think critically and strategically about where we place our time and effort.
Thank you so much for the shout out Jen! That made my day 😊 I really enjoyed reading about your journey and I always appreciate how authentic your posts are. You and your work are really inspiring!
Thanks so much Louie, it really is. But I think as creatives it's important we all know it's ok to think about money and think a little bit 'businessy'. It's the best way to ensure we get to do these awesome jobs for as long as possible.
Yes! It might be an enjoyable job but it's still a job, so thinking strategically is inportant. Some people luck into finding that intersection right away so perhaps don't have to consciously work it out, but i reckon most of us have to do that thinking!
I love the covers!
Thank you xxx

Haha yes I know what you mean! It's our job to send out the ships to find that little dot and find where we can live inside of it x
Fantastic book covers! Such a good idea, well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for reading x
