The New Notes from Eva!

A little update, and 20+ opportunities.

Welcome to the New Notes from Eva!

I’ve moved the newsletter to Substack! There’s nothing you need to do if you’re interested in the free version of this newsletter. So grateful to connect with folks via this newsletter, and I hope it’s a helpful resource.

I started the newsletter as a way to chronicle my writing/creative journey. Little by little, I realized it was also my way of creating some transparency around the creative life — to talk about the topics I wanted to know more about when I was first starting out.

I also didn’t grow up with a lot of role models for living a creative life. And the more time I spent on social media (former social media manager here), the more cool opportunities I came across. I’m a Virgo rising, and I love to organize information. I also love encouraging people to go for that opportunity! Believe in your work!

So here we are now, at a new version of Notes from Eva. Consider a paid subscription to support my writing and the creation of this newsletter — I do it all myself! 

Paid subscribers get access to a monthly Q&A section, plus an extended version of each month’s opening letter. Opportunities for creatives will be the same as usual. You can also browse through the main Substack page to see past issues and opportunities.

Keep scrolling for this month’s opportunities. Thanks for reading!
