For Our Readers: What Have You Heard?
We love hearing from you all! Every one of our staff meetings features a “Note From a Fan,” where we hear notes from Green Ember fans from all over the world. Sometimes these notes come from parents, and sometimes they come right from kids themselves. They are always a treat to hear!
Lately, as the internet waters have gotten a bit cloudier, we’ve heard some strange things. Things like:
- I missed that on your social media!
- Are you still publishing on the website?
…and perhaps the most perplexing one of all:
- I didn’t even know you had a new book out! How did I miss that?!
We work really hard to communicate with you, our readers, but the Internet Powers That Be are making it more and more difficult to be heard. You might have read recently that even your search engine will begin to look a little different in the near future.
All of these changes keep us on our toes, and we’d like to keep up, but we’re finding it harder and harder. We’re just trying to say hello and check in with you from time to time! And most of all, we want to make sure that you continue to receive the quality help and delightful stories you’ve come to expect from Story Warren. We want you to be able to live your life in the real world and not have to work so hard to keep up.
So consider this a little pep talk from us: those of you who subscribe to, open, and even click a link or two, our emails from week to week are the ones who will be in the loop! If you miss something, we’ll try to remind you. You can check in on our social media channels, too:
- Green Ember Official (IG)
- Story Warren (IG)
- Story Warren (Facebook)
- S. D. Smith (Facebook)
- S. D. Smith (IG)
Thanks, pals! We’re on your side—thanks for being on ours.
P. S. If you have a “Note from a fan” to share, you’re welcome to send it along. You can read more on our Customer Stories page, too.
