Listen now (17 min) | In today's episode of The Daily Larb, I'm reflecting on yesterday's Sunday Letters article, my work that brings in the bacon, and a new article I've written today for The Writing Cooperative. Read it here: https://writingcooperative.com/the-writers-giveaway-experiment-7ccfa25d9334 Extract: I’ve read a lot about giveaways. I’ve even run one or two in the not so distant past and I figure, based on the info I’ve gathered that it’s one of the best ways to build a following and gain notice for the stuff I write. I was a little apprehensive about asking for prizes from people I had no prior relationship with other than I was receiving their email newsletters. I thought, right - I’m just going to give this a go. I’ll reach out to a few high profile people in the writing and marketing space and see what happens. If they say no I’ll just suck it up and move on. So I asked them. They said yes. I emailed them all individually and one after the other they all agreed to get on board.
