Welcome to the BellaOnline Reading Newsletter! My name is Connie Mistler Davidson, Reading Site Editor, and I am excited that you are signing up for the newsletter. Here is some info about the Reading Newsletter.

Signing up for this free weekly newsletter helps you be among the first to see new content on the Reading Site. I also include tidbits, just for my newsletter readers, that I do not always include in the articles.

Every one of us has things that we must do in our day-to-day lives. We also have time for some leisure activities. Reading is a wonderful leisure time activity. The Reading Site can assist you in helping youngsters become better readers and writers. It can provide reviews of books and materials that enhance the reading experience. Our Reading Site is filled with information to help you promote the joy of reading to everybody from babies to folks who have passed the age of 100!

With these benefits, now is the time to sign up! I assure you that BellaOnline has a strict privacy policy. We never sell, trade, or give away your personal information or e-mail address. We don’t share your name. You will not get more spam if you sign up. All information about subscribers is strictly confidential. Even the editors don’t have this information.

My articles usually come out on Monday. The newsletter comes the same day as the article. In that way, if you miss the article when it's featured, you'll get a reminder. You are one of the first to read the latest article!

There are two easy ways to sign up. You may use the box at the bottom of this page, or the box on the right hand side. Click, and enter your e-mail address. It’s that easy! You will be sent a test e-mail to make sure that your e-mail provider won’t block our newsletter. The newsletter will come from our bellaonline.com server. Check your inbox, and maybe your spam folder. If you don’t get the test e-mail, please let me know through my link on my bio page. You may need to configure your e-mail to allow the Reading Newsletter to get past the anti-spam filters and into your mailbox.

If you ever need to unsubscribe from the Reading Newsletter, it’s easy to do. Every newsletter has a link at the bottom of the page. Just click the link and follow the instructions.

At BellaOnline we value our readers. You are the reason that we are on the web. We are not a giant corporation. All editors on this site are volunteers. As the editor in Reading, I want your input. What do you want to see on the site? Would you like a book club? How interested are you in using a forum? Let me know!

Please visit our Reading Forum, too! Leave me notes and suggestions for the site. Ask questions of other readers. Together, we collaborate to build a community of caring and sharing where we all learn together.

I will always ask the question,

What are you reading today?

Connie
Musings: A mistake is just a learning opportunity! Sometimes you think that you have made a mistake when choosing a book, but you've really just discovered a new author!

If you enjoy writing, you might like to look at the Become an Editor link at the bottom of our BellaOnline homepage. We have a great training program that teaches folks to write for the web. You can indulge your passion for writing and a subject that is close to your heart.
