I've seen roundups come to my in-box, but I never considered doing them myself until reading your section about them. I think I'll find a different subject for each roundup -- mine and other site's writing about a particular theme. Someone else told me to invite guest authors, so I hope to build enough relationship with people who write about my topic to get that started, too. Thanks for the ideas and for sharing your "experience, strength, and hope."

Awesome! I did a whole post about it here, and it's part of our new Substack book on Kickstarter, too. https://www.theauthorstack.com/p/why-and-how-to-do-a-roundup?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Froundup&utm_medium=reader2

Thank you Claire for sharing these awesome tips 🙏 I can't wait to start implementing them. And to answer one of your questions—yes, I'm constantly updating it and changing bits and bobs on Welcome emails and about page 💕 but I particularly like the tip on updating older posts to get it in front of new people.

Awesome, thank you for reading and I'm glad you found the tips helpful. I'm a big believer in not letting your older posts "die" after you publish them! Thank you for chiming in and for subscribing too! :D
