HONORABLE NOTE
Hi All, I hope you enjoyed having TiF Ambassador, Hanna Delaney step in and make the selections last week. If you haven’t yet, go say HI and subscribe to her Substack! She’s awesome! Next month we’ll have another TiF Ambassador. But that’s all I’m allowed to say about it! So, don’t ask me any questions and I won’t tell no lies!
Keeping it short and sweet this week as I’m hard at work on the Monthly Recap that will be even bigger than last month’s! I just want to tell you about a “NEW RULE” that will be implemented on these weekly emails:
NO self-promotion of your work (including in the form of links) in these TiF Issues. Anyone who does so will forfeit their stories from being featured in future issues.
The reason for this rule is to allow those stories that are featured to get the full attention. It also keeps the links for stories that aren’t chosen in one place, the recommendations emails that happen every Friday. I hope you understand the reason for this change and I’m sure there won’t be any issue with this ask.
