1️⃣ Resource of the week
Free ebook: 22 Laws of Digital Writing
This book is a must for anybody looking to level up their digital writing (which should be all of us!). Plus, it's free!
It’s also from two of my favorite digital writers, Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole. If you follow a lot of writers on Twitter, you've probably heard of them.
They run this cohort-based-class for writers called Ship30for30. I’ve been on the fence about taking it for the last year. Have any of you? Would love to hear your experience!
Anyway, check out the free book here, and some great paying opps below ⬇️
