Something special this way comes...

Hello,

Five years ago, in Real Artists Don’t Starve, I wrote about the New Renaissance—an emerging class of creatives who were disproving the damaging myth of the starving artist.

Today, that same group has become what many are calling the “Creator Economy,” and if you’re not already part of it, I’d like to extend a personal invitation. The world needs your work, and we all need more community. A place where we can go for inspiration and fuel, where we can receive a regular dose of insight and perspective to keep creating and thriving, even when we think we can’t—a place to share, gather, publish, and learn.

Next week, my team and I are launching a new brand to give you all of that and more.

Introducing… Hey, Creator! It’s our all-new weekly newsletter and podcast—a mixtape of education, inspiration, and resources for the creative class.

Here’s what you can expect each week in the Hey, Creator! newsletter:

A letter from me about what’s going on in my life, our work, and in the Creator Economy Roundup of the week’s best reads and resources for creators Answers to reader questions (hit us up with what you’re desperate to know about creative work, making a living as a creator, sharing your work, building a platform, etc.) Action items and limited-time promotions to help you get the most out of each issue

As we grow, we’ll add new sections to give you even more value, which means we want to hear from you. Let us know what you want from a weekly newsletter, and we’ll do our best to deliver.

And then there’s the podcast…

Starting next week, you’ll get to listen to, subscribe to, and download the Hey, Creator! podcast.

Here’s what to expect every week. Practical tips from me, my co-hosts, and guests on:

Platform building Making money from your creative work Learning the art of creating and re-creating yourself What truly successful creators know and do

The Creator Economy is a global movement of 50 million writers, podcasters, content creators, and influencers who know that there’s more to life than a soul-sucking 9-5.

As such, this project isn’t going to be a one-man show. Instead, I’ll be introducing you to my team and to each other, so that we can all go further through our connections. Together, we can create the community we all need to succeed.

The newsletter and podcast launch on June 15. We can’t wait to see and serve you then.

Jeff
