Great read
Pithy, funny, actionable. Really excellent guide to a valuable and important topic that is often taken for granted. Highly recommended.

So great. I look forward to making my newsletter even more awesome now.
This was really good. If you've been fumbling your way through newsletters, avoiding the analytics and stats, and basically irregularly firing off an email here and there in the hopes that one of them hits it's target, this is the book for you. Straight forward, detailed, logical and very accessible. Highly recommend.
Ninja training at its finest. Now to put what I've learned into action.
This is a super comprehensive guide to newsletters for authors - and now I have a ton of work to do! I'm glad I found it before my debut launches in 3 months!
Essential reading for every author! A great breakdown of best practices for newsletters: why you need one and how you should use it for maximum benefit.
I picked up Newsletter Ninja as another author who wrote a non-fiction I had read recommended it. I like newsletters (and sign-up for way too many of them) and with a title as Newsletter Ninja and that cover I knew I had to read this. And I am glad I picked it up as I not only enjoyed reading it, but it also was a very informative book.

I am a complete novice in regards to author mailing lists and was keen to read this to enlighten myself and begin to understand how to go about creating an engaged list of subscribers.
It was clear to me that Tammi Labrecque is indeed a professional as she used terminology I was not familiar with and I struggled to follow along in some places. By the time I reached the middle I had a list of questions, but reading further resolved the majority of them - and a few more I had to go away and work o ...more

The reason I bought this book was I wasn't sure if I wanted to shell out the $300 for Tammi's course. Paying $5 is far more reasonable.
I've had books out since 2011 and I've never done a newsletter. I always thought about it, but didn't know where to stop. People used terms I didn't understand and I didn't know what to put in my newsletter. Recently, I've also been unsubscribing to a lot of newsletters. That probably attributed to me not wanting to do one.

Newsletter Ninja was a quick read and Tammi made a fairly boring (to me) subject entertaining enough. I did pick up a few useful tips over the course of this book and made more than few changes to my newsletter while I was reading along. I've no idea if I'd consider myself a mailing list expert at this point, but I think I have a better idea of what I need to do with my newsletter moving forward.
I came upon this book via Mark Dawson's SPF Class, and I read it in one go. It was a real mind-opener and not only helps with optimizing your newsletter communication, but also how to engage with your reader in general. I'm sure I can implement a lot of the ideas in my social media posts and on my website. I definitely recommend this book if you're struggling with email marketing just like I do!
I built (or attempted to build) a list for my YA series several years back. The few people I managed to entice to join were unengaged and had no interest in even opening my emails, let alone clicking. I spent hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours and got nothing in return
I’m gearing up to start a new list, so I wanted to figure out what I’d done wrong and more importantly how I can do it right this time.

If you need help getting started with your email list or want to fine tune one you have this is the book for you!

This book makes the prospect of doing a newsletter so much less daunting.
This book is filled to the brim with helpful ideas, solid reminders, and smart tips. The author's unique voice and funny comments keep it from being a dry information dump. Newsletter best practices aren't normally high on my list of fun reading, but I actually enjoyed this book and zoomed right through it. I'll keep it around to refer to later, but for now I'm off to tweak my automation sequences... So sexy.
Full to the brim with great ideas
This book contains lots of truly useful and actionable ideas to improve my newsletter. I’d certainly recommend it to anyone writer who wants to increase engagement and the stickiness of their lists.

Great book for any author who wants to become more successful in connecting with their fans and selling more books.
This is an extremely useful book, written in a very approachable and personable manner. I would highly recommend that anybody who wants to up their game with author newsletters needs to get their hands on a copy of this book and read every single word of it. Thanks, Tammi!
A very good and straightforward read when it comes to newsletter marketing for authors. Included some great ideas.
The only thing I thought was missing was the actual practical steps for achieving all those things we need to get right as authors with the newsletter. So there was no actual "formula" of how to write great newsletters, only a strategy of what you need to achieve and why. Basically, the "how" was missing a little.

Excellent book with some great tips on how to build your newsletter and what to do with it once you've got it. Short, to the point, and filled with lots of humor. Even though I've had a newsletter for a few years, I learned about some stuff I was doing that wasn't the best use of the newsletter (and the author explains why they aren't recommended very clearly). Definitely worth reading if you're an author either starting to build your newsletter, wanting to build one, or even if you already have

A great book to gain perspective and strategies on running an author mailing list. I picked up several useful tips. A wonderful resource I suspect I'll refer to again and again. Thanks, Tammi!
Essential reading for those with or wanting an email list.
Great information
This is an excellent book - a must-have for any indie writer. I wish there was example letters that we could see but I also know she explains everything very well. Great job!

Recommend reading for all authors!
I picked this book for our marketing book club because I have a need to create newsletters for several businesses and I realize that this whole game is very, very different from the old days. I know this because most of the newsletters I subscribe to online share a certain aesthetic, they are more like emails than what I would call an email, but they are engaging.

Someone recommended this book to me last month. I wish I could remember who because I owe them big time.
You see, this book is the Duck’s Nuts of guerilla marketing. It details how to write newsletters that your readers love. Yes, it’s targeted at authors because authors think about writing books. Few of them think about writing to sell. More importantly, they fail to learn how to sell themselves!

For years I've been hearing/learning about the importance of newsletters. I've taken some classes and read some books about the topic, but none of them focus specifically on best practices for fiction writers. This is the first book I've read that actually includes practical tips for novelists, as well as a link to even more tips on the author's website.

There is no magic formula but this short book is helpful and the information is imparted in a conversational entertaining tone. I was hoping for more suggestions on how to build a list. I think this is the biggest obstacle especially for newbie writers. The best idea seems to be enticing readers by giving them something free such as a short story or novella. But then you have to keep them on your list. I found this part most helpful and it gave me lots of ideas. I still feel confused by the whol

I'm probably going to read this again, it's that useful. Labrecque outlines strategies for using your reader newsletter the right way--not for selling but for building an engaged reader community.
This is a book full of actionable information with just a soft sell for Labrecque's course and coaching services at the end. The nice thing about it is that it will result in lots of unique newsletters rather than formulaic ones, thus giving the readers what THEY want, our quirky and unique minds.

Newsletter Ninja is an amazingly useful book. Tammi Labrecque does an excellent job of laying out just about everything you need to do to turn your failing newsletter around. After practicing many of the strategies laid out in this book, my engagement saw a huge increase. It's still early days, and my newsletter is still small, but if the results continue this way then I suspect great things will happen. If you're an author or other artist striving for an engaged community, definitely add Newsle
