Muse Survey Results are in!

On January 1st, we asked you to fill out a survey so we could find out what YOU wanted to read in our newsletters. We had an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. So thank you!

The responses are in:
  • 86% of you wanted to read about "Upcoming Workshops & Classes" πŸŽ“
  • 61% were interested in "Writing Tips & Techniques" πŸ“œ
  • 56% wanted information on "Community Events" πŸ₯³ as well as "Writing Prompts & Challenges" πŸ”₯
As for frequency, writers were split between "Weekly" and "Monthly". For now, we'll be reporting in every two weeks until we receive more data.
