Who are you targeting with your mailing list?

@Braden-Hallett no, mostly just people I went to college with, worked with, or talked with at conferences. Im connected to less than 300 people. Maybe being a graphic designer helps because a lot of my professional connections may know someone who's a designer in publishing who would be connected with more people in publishing? I wouldn't call myself a linkedin expert either...

@StudioLooong thank you!

@Braden-Hallett and @StudioLooong THIS is exactly why I come to the forum. Thank you for asking (and responding) to all the right questions. Also, it's helpful to not feel so alone in the journey

@StudioLooong Cool cool. Looks like linedin is great if you already have connections :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: I'm gonna have to start that with illustrators I meet.

Maybe we should start a little SVS linkedin circle and branch out

StudioLooong

@Braden-Hallett I'd be happy to connect with you and any other SVS-ers! Hopefully we can all help to expand eachother's networks! https://www.linkedin.com/in/teackerman/

Hi guys, the mailing list has drove me a bit crazy - it was so hard and time consuming to build up a mailing list with both email and post mail address. It seems like editors do not want to be found. So I reached out to @Braden-Hallett asking for collaboration on building a mailing list together.

Here is what we have got so far. It is not much, it is a start:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rK7HFfCJ0Sbok4_Gt_cT7D3sdCgLDQytbEu5lGnUlQY/edit?usp=sharing

The mailing list is focued on childrens book, YA book, comics and graphic novels (Not so much editorial)

Anyone interested in collaborating on this?

@StudioLooong Thanks! For anyone interested, here's mine
