Unsubscribed
With thousands of writers in the Circle, you can find neighbours in adjacent niches — and a steady stream of subscribers who actually wanted to hear from you.
Turn new arrivals into paying readers on autopilot, so the business grows at a pace that does not burn you out by March.
Joining the Writers' Circle was easily the biggest jolt we have ever given the list. Around 19,400 people have come in through Handoffs, and it is the single best thing that has happened to the newsletter.

Endurance coach and writer

Nadia says the appeal is how little it asks of her: “it just runs in the background and I never touch it, but it keeps producing revenue month after month.”
During her most recent live launch, 14% of the people who bought had joined the list through another writer's recommendation.
