If you don’t know me: My name’s Ethan Brooks, and I’m the creator of The Austin Business Review. Before that, I spent years writing for The Hustle, where I also wrote this book on how newsletter businesses work.
I’ve been refining these ideas for the past five years. If you’re a writer who wants your newsletter to support your work instead of becoming another abandoned project, you should join us.
