As someone who is an autodidact/lifelong learner, one of my favorite places to learn everything from new art skills to knitting to writing is Skillshare. I've been a member for close to 10 years and I foresee being a member for many years to come.

You can try it out for free for a whole month with my affiliate link. If you end up getting a membership after your free trial, I get a small referral payment. You may end up being as addicted to it as I am 😉

I have tried several email platforms in the past 10 years and the only one I really liked is flodesk. While it's also not perfect (what is??), there are several things that makes it stand out:

1) It is GORGEOUS.

2) My newsletter emails sent from them NEVER get put into people's Spam box.

3) It is started and owned by women!

If supporting women entrepreneurs is important to you, and you're in search of a newsletter platform, give flodesk a try! Use my affiliate link to get 50% off your first year.

If you knit or crochet like I do, then you might be interested in a site called "LoveCrafts" (not at all related to H.P. 😆). I've bought a number of patterns from them in the past, ranging from fun to cute to elegant. They also sell yarn...yummy, yummy yarn! Give them a try through my affiliate link and let me know what you think!

One of the tricks to editing your writing is to read it back to yourself or have someone read it to you. But what if you need to do something else--like my favorite task, cleaning toilets...hah--or can't find someone patient to read your 50K word novel to you? Speechify to the rescue! They have a ton of different voices to choose from that don't sound like Stephen Hawking's voice machine or the deranged computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

You can get a 1 week free trial. If you decide to get a subscription after trying it out, if you go through my link below, you will get 1/2 off the one year fee and get a month free on top of that! That's $60 off Speechify and 1 month FREE when you sign up for Premium through me. And I will also get $60 in credit towards my next renewal. Win-win, right?
