Do you sign up for author email newsletters? Why or why not?

Yes, I do sign up for author email newsletters.

While I follow a lot of authors on social media, I don’t always see their posts. This means I often miss out on news like new releases or book sales—news most authors share in their author newsletter.

I also miss out on other news, like a new publishing contract, a new pet, or a new grandchild. I do like the personal touch of an email sent to me and the author’s other 10,000 closest friends 🙂
