The Butcher Newsletter
« on: August 01, 2025, 07:33:29 PM »
Quick question for everyone. I got the initial 6 welcoming newsletters, but I have not received anything since. Has anyone else got a newsletter beyond the 6 initial ones?

Hi Mira,
This new, just opened up last month or so.  There's a link on Jim's page. So far just the six emails. Includes a complete reading list with books, short stories,  graphic novels,  micro fictions and novellas. And a link to a AMA, quite a few questions,  not lot of answers.

I think there's the introductory set enqueued for auto-send as a "welcome package."  I don't expect to see tons of stuff thereafter... News when there is news (which usually there is not).

Hi, weird because what you described is exactly what I was getting a while back.  Wonder if it was something they had for a while, stopped for whatever reason, were trying again and it still didn't work out?  When you think about it someone has to take charge and do it.  That takes time, access to Jim is helpful, is it volunteer, or a paid position?  All the above factor into a good newsletter, what is more a good newsletter that actually comes out regularly with actual news and not rehashed stuff.  I think it was something they tried to bring back and possibly ran into the same problems they had before.
