NEWSLETTER: Small Space Big Life Winter 2019 Vol. 1 - Pennwriters Keynote Speaker

Image
NEWSLETTER Jason and I recently sent out the Winter 2019 edition of our new newsletter because it was time that two became one under Small Space Big Life , the same name as our YouTube channel . Why? Because who needs double the email to read and because we're co-authoring two new series. It's best we get used to sharing the byline. We can't say much about those series right now, except that we're excited and busy. In the meantime, find out about Jason's big honor this May, Heidi's new vlog series, and what we've been reading when we're not writing. And check out our events. We'd love to see you some time!
