I Need Your Help With Something Important
Your honest feedback will drive this journey
I want to begin with a sincere thank you.
Thank you for reading my work.
Thank you for opening these emails.
Thank you for being here.
Six months ago, this newsletter was just an idea. Today there are more than 360 of you reading, responding, sharing, and giving me the motivation to keep writing. In the last few months I have published more than 50 posts, tried new formats, explored new ideas, and attempted to show up with real consistency.
And now, as we step into 2026, I want to shift gears.
I want to write with even more clarity.
I want to grow faster.
I want to serve you better.
But for that, I need your help.
What Should I Write More About?
If you have been reading me for a while, you know I am always learning. I want to create content that actually helps you. Not random ideas. Not shallow thoughts. Real value.
So I want to ask you something simple.
Which of my posts stayed with you?
Was it the writing advice?
The Substack growth ideas?
The short fiction?
The AI for authors posts?
Something else?
What do you want more of in 2026?
Writing craft
Book publishing
AI for authors
Substack growth
Motivation and real life lessons
Behind the scenes of my own creative journey
Fiction and stories
Tell me what moves you. Tell me what you look forward to. Tell me what I should double down on.
If you reply to this mail with your feedback, I will also happily review your newsletter or give you feedback on your writing if you want it. I mean that. This is a two way street.

If You Do Not Want to Reply, A Simple Poll Helps
I know most inboxes are crowded.
I know not everyone has the time or mood to write a long reply.
So here is a small request.
If you cannot reply, please take five seconds to answer this poll. It matters more than you think.
Closing Thought
Great writing grows when the community grows with it.
Thank you for helping me shape what this newsletter becomes next.
And if you want to run a similar feedback post for your own readers, please feel free to copy this format. Use it in your own voice, ask your audience for clarity, and grow alongside them.
If you do, I would love it if you tagged me so I can read your post too.
I am super grateful for every person reading these words.
