Class Description
In 2024, newsletters are the new podcasts; it seems everyone’s got one. But if you’re thinking of starting your own newsletter, you need to make the right decisions now to ensure your project lasts into 2025 and beyond. In this interactive class, we’ll break down the decisions beginning newsletter writers face including: choosing a hosting platform; narrowing in on a topic, audience, and cadence; writing forms like welcome emails and unsubscribe forms; and creating a template format for your newsletter entries. Writers will leave with a month of upcoming topics for your newsletter, and a draft first entry.
Thanks to the excellent literary citizenship of our donors, scholarships are available for all GrubStreet classes. To apply, click the gray "APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP" button. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must complete your application at least one week before the start date of a class. Please await our scholarship committee's decision before registering for the class. We cannot hold spots in classes, so the sooner you apply, the better. Scholarships cannot be applied retroactively.
