You skim, sort, and delete emails as they ping through to your phone. Tidy is the name of the game. But there’s a part of you that admits a pressure-release valve wouldn’t hurt, and might even be fun. . . just as long as it doesn’t clutter up your pro-level inbox organization.

Why You Should Subscribe: The SUM Newsletter is positive, digestible, and relevant to your creative life. You can read it right away for a boost of creative mojo or you can file the weekly emails into a folder to binge the next time you need creative confidence. Think of this newsletter as the wild friend who nudges you and says, “Maybe it’s time to get that tattoo you’ve wanted since college. No one at work has to know about it, anyway.”

You subscribe to every mailing list and rely on your email provider to do the sorting for you. After all, you never know when you might need a coupon for that one store you shopped at for your niece’s graduation barbeque six years ago.

Why You Should Subscribe: The SUM Newsletter is designed to remind messy creatives that they aren’t alone, and that it’s okay to thrive in the process of making awesome sh*t. Think of this newsletter as the supportive friend who brings you a large iced coffee and says, “You’re a catch. If they don’t want you in your mess, they don’t deserve you at your best.”

You’ve signed up for the newsletter of every digital-conference-writing-guru, and you have yet to find one that really speaks to you. You’re not sure what’s holding you back from enjoying them—they’re inspirational and informative—but you’re often left feeling drained or inadequate after sorting through them.

Why You Should Subscribe: The SUM Newsletter is focused on energizing you. Not that there isn’t a place for moody writer rants or pressure to be aggressively professional in your writing life—those are vibes, and they work for some people. It’s just not your vibe. Think of this newsletter as the friend who rides shotgun and says, “This is the best part!” right before handing you an imaginary microphone during your favorite jam.
