Hi ,

Welcome! I hope your week went well.

I got a surprise case of strep throat this week 🫠 so I’ll just get right to business.

This week’s gigs are brought to you in part by Authory. I’m a big fan because it’s solving a problem many writers are facing right now — it automatically finds and backs up your published work (so you don’t have to worry about losing clips if clients take them down). Here’s a word from them:

Writers, stop wasting your time!

How much time do you spend manually updating your portfolio? And how often is it still outdated?

With Authory, that's a thing of the past. Authory creates a beautiful, self-updating portfolio that automatically pulls in your new articles as you publish them, no matter where.

And that’s not all: Authory also backs up all your published articles automatically, so you never have to worry about losing your work.

Join thousands of writers who already use Authory to impress potential clients and employers.
