In 2019, I started a little email called Good Morning Sunshine.

One drawing. One short note. One goal:
To spread joy in a world that desperately needs it. 

247 emails later—it changed my entire life.

Here are 5 unexpected ways starting a newsletter changed everything 

1. It got me my first paid illustration contract.
No pitch deck. No outreach. Just someone on my list who saw the joy—and hired me.

2. It helped me find my voice.
Not just as an artist. But as a writer. Turns out I had a lot to say. I just needed a place to say it.

3. It made me a better creative director.
Writing every week taught me what makes people feel. That’s the power of consistent copywriting.

4. It gave me the guts to self-publish my first book.
No waiting for permission. Just my audience, my words, my way.

5. It literally got me a book deal.
Yup. Someone on my list read my emails…And offered me a deal.
You never know who’s reading.

If you’re a creative who’s been thinking about starting a newsletter…this is your sign.
