I normally work a bit during my vacations; this year, I’m really taking some time off. So you wouldn’t miss me too much, I wrote all of my Tuesday blog posts in July. (That was a big job. Phew!) The next one will appear Tuesday, August 14. Apart from Tuesdays, I won’t return to my regular blog until Monday, August 27. Happy summer!

Your newsletter is funny/interesting because you write about stuff I already know, but for some reason need to hear again in small portions. So incredibly useful.

Thank you for your recent newsletter. What a powerful concept! I think you’ve just given me a key to my writer’s block. Your newsletter is terrific!

Just have to tell you how I enjoy your writing. It is amazing how you can put so much logic into so few words. I look forward to Tuesdays! Keep on telling us how to write

Though I am creative, I have not been creative for a very long time, and have found much encouragement and direction in all the guidance that you provide. More importantly, I am creating again! So please tell everyone that your tips are not just for writers, but for all creative types, because your tips apply equally well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I recently signed up for your blog, and just want to tell you how much of a resource your tips have been for me. With your mind mapping technique, creating documents is quicker than I have ever encountered, and I get more work done in less time.

I adore your email newsletter.
It’s one of the few emails I read
immediately and it always leaves me
with a little extra motivation.

Thank you from the bottom of my toes for easing the pain of the most odious kind of writing I have to do. I could, and can, change how I approach writing. You’ve given me good light to follow.

As a new writer and web owner, I had subscribed to several writing-type newsletters — yours is the only one I have kept. It’s short and sweet; and it offers value.

You don’t know me, but you’ve made such a big difference in my writing as I launched and then grew my copywriting business over the past year. Your newsletter is the only one I read right when I get it.

I have to stop myself replying to your email each week to tell you how great I think your writing is. I’ve held off for two months now, so: I think your writing is great. Yours is the only newsletter that I read every time. Inspiring and concise, with humour. Love it.

Just had to tell you that, once again, your newsletter has brought enlightenment, enjoyment, and a welcome dose of sanity to my inbox. I love hearing from you each week.

Thank you so much for your sage advice and counsel. It is very helpful. I have begun to put your tips into practice.

OMG!! You really ARE good!! Writers, STOP doing what you’re doing to read “Power Writing” while assuring yourself you’re only doing it to improve your skills and your current project. Daphne Gray-Grant is addictive!
Jean Freemont

I read your Power Writing tips religiously. I have learned more from them than I did in all my years at Catholic School. Your stuff is valuable to everyone regardless of their business function.

Thanks so much for encouraging me today and every week throughout the year. Each time I read your newsletter, I feel as through I’m hearing from a friend.

I just wanted to let you know, I look forward to Tuesdays. Because of you. Thanks for the inspiration and insight.

I just don’t know how you do it. Every column of yours I read is noteworthy. I’m working on two books (one for Oxford University Press and the other for Prometheus Books) that are each due in a couple of months. I’ve got two major research projects and teaching to boot. I don’t read anything extra. Except your emails. They’re worth their weight in gold.

I can’t tell you how timely this was this week. Sometimes your messages arrive like lighting bolts out of the heavens.

Unlike most newsletters I subscribe to (many of which I delete in frustration or let accumulate in my inbox for “later”) I read yours the moment they come in. I love that they’re short, easy to read, and informative.

I think you have one of the most valuable and insightful business writing resources on the web (and, as I’m sure you know, there are thousands of them out there). No matter how busy I am, your newsletter is the one email I always open the moment it hits my inbox!
Leslie Talbot

I just wanted to let you know that I read 100% of your writing. Of the many newsletters that come to my inbox, yours is the only one I read from start to finish every time. TGIT (Thank God it’s Tuesday).
Laura Williams

Your newsletter should be scribed in GOLD. Short, poignant, relevant and valuable. Thank you for giving me direction I didn’t know I was missing!
