Can you imagine doing one thing every week for 400 weeks in
a row? If you’re like most people, you can’t envision doing anything for
that long without missing a single time.
July 2006: Brisbane,
Australia
Now imagine if that one
thing you’re doing every week is publishing an e-zine on writing. One
that 16,000 readers eagerly look forward to receiving. A newsletter
filled with information and inspiration - with plenty of humour thrown in.
Jennifer Stewart, a
freelance writer from Brisbane, Australia has done just that. The 400th issue of
The Write Way will be
delivered to subscribers in a couple of weeks. The newsletter has been published
every Friday morning without a miss for nearly eight years. If you’re not
among Jennifer’s subscribers, you can sign up on her Web site: Write101.com.
You can also read the archives of previous issues.
But publishing 400
newsletters and creating and maintaining more than 600 pages of information on
“One of the 101 Best
Websites for Writers” as judged by Writer’s Digest, 2005) wasn’t
enough for Jennifer. She has also served as a member of the Editorial Board of Your
Information Center, a US-based publishing company that brings information to
everyone, she's edited dozens of e-books, written many great e-books and her
articles are archived on sites across the Internet.
From humble beginnings, The
Write Way has become one of the longest-running ezines on the Internet. Stewart
recalls the first editions that were individually typed and addressed and sent
from her email program, "I'd sit down and write the newsletter each Friday
morning, then copy and paste it into individual emails to send to my 12
subscribers!"
How times change ... the
newsletter now is sent to more than 16,000 subscribers from around the globe.
Stewart tries to explain why this newsletter has survived when so many others
have failed, "While there's always a writing tip, it's never presented like
a school lesson. After all, this arrives on a Friday when people are gearing up
for the weekend, so we can't take ourselves too seriously. And funnily enough,
it's my rambles and lead-ins that evoke the most positive comments from
subscribers."
Obviously it's a format that
works, and one that should keep this writer from Down Under busy every Friday
for some time to come!
