Dear Not So Secret Agent readers,

This post is to keep an up to date archive of all NSSA Zoom recordings.

The whole reason I started this newsletter was to offer transparency and access.

I want to underscore that my newsletter content will always be free and never behind a paywall. However, if you choose to support my work via a paid readership, you’ll also have access to the skill building sessions. These 90 min sessions include an hour with a publishing industry expert followed by 30 mins of intentional networking for attendees.

The reason I reserve these virtual gatherings for paid readers is to curate a room for people that are 1) serious, 2) searching for more advanced information, and 3) eager to participate in community building.

Equity spots are always available, no questions asked. Just email me or slide into my DMs.

The only content behind paywalls in this newsletter are the recordings of these skill building sessions.

Here are all the previous NSSA Skill Building Sessions’ FREE content:

  • Recipe testing w/ Afton Cyrus: intro post; takeaways

  • Cookbook proposal & design w/ Frances Baca: intro post

  • Solo NSSA Sally AMA: intro post

  • All about INDEXES with Gina Guilinger

  • Genre Blending Community Conversation

  • What is in-house marketing? An interview with Brianne Sperber

Click HERE to upgrade your subscription which will unlock access to the recordings of all skill building sessions at the bottom of this newsletter (for some reason Substack also restricts comments for paid readers on posts that have a paywall. Hence why comments on this newsletter are for paid only. This is NOT my preference as I love hearing from all of you and all of my other posts have comments turned on for everyone).
