AZAli suggested that we might have a newsletter for our group, so that we don't feel so disconnected when marathon isn't going on. The mass emails function of the forum doesn't work very well, also, so this might be a good substitute for the mass emails. I'm unsure if everyone here is interested in a newsletter, or what form you would prefer it take. We could do a platform like mailchimp where everyone signs up for the newsletter and it is sent out through a mailing list. We could also just do something less high-tech and you can PM me your email if you'd like to be added to a group email list where I just send an email out through Gmail every so often. Or, if you aren't at all interested in a newsletter, you can also select that. Not sure if I could manage a monthly newsletter, but it would be at least quarterly. Or we might take turns doing the emails if anyone likes creating things like that and would like to volunteer to help.

I love this idea. I'm not too sure about the difference of the two options, so I'd go for whatever is easiest for you to manage.

I'm also okay with either the official newsletter idea or just a group email (I couldn't choose both in the poll). This group is so helpful and I'd love for it to be more active outside the marathons!

What sort of information would be included in the newsletter?

What sort of information would be included in the newsletter? I was thinking something like an interesting writing blog post from somewhere. We might have a discussion thread for it here on the forum, too. Also news and updates about the group, such as dates for the marathons or if someone's book has a publication date.
