My most viral newsletter so far is the interview I did with Caroline Chambers, writer of the top Substack food and drink newsletter. You can see some of it here. The title gets your attention: Caroline Chambers Makes $15k+ Per Recipe.

People also enjoy an interview I did with David Lebovitz.

They contain interviews with important editors and agent (including their contact info), opportunities to win books, participate in chats with me and other perks.
