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.

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. Awesome
