Start your day fresh with knowledge! Every writer needs a break from time-to-time, and many writers are constantly studying writing to gain more knowledge to help them become better, more successful writers. So prop your feet up, grab a cup of coffee and gain knowledge with the Coffee Break for Writers e-zine!
Coffee Break for Writers was created to help aspiring and veteran experienced writers. Unlike other publications for writers, we offer new, fresh content. Many of the other publications for writers seem to say the same thing, and I know this because as a writer myself I'm subscribed to quite a few newsletters, magazines and e-zines for writers (free and paid subscriptions). I don't know about you, but I get tired of reading the same thing in every e-zine, magazine and newsletter. However, the thing that annoys me the most is seeing market listings that only paid writers a whopping $2.00 for all rights! These reasons and many more is why Misti Sandefur, editor and founder, decided to create an e-zine that she hopes will offer writers something different. She understands that some publications that are better than others and encourages you to subscribe to those as well, but she asks you to also give Coffee Break for Writers a chance. If you don't find Coffee Break for Writers helpful, you can unsubscribe at any time. Sound fair enough?
