Hey there Reader, I had a call with a prospective writing client yesterday. Toward the end of the call, I asked if he had any questions. His response? "No...honestly, my mind is blown right now."

Hey there Reader, 30 Days to Tame Type 2 Diabetes has sold 3,200 copies and generated $15,000 in revenue. But if I could rewrite it, I’d make it shorter and more focused. I tried to cover everything—diet, exercise, medications, mindset, and monitoring: I wanted to create a comprehensive guide for newly diagnosed patients. I should have talked to 20 patients and asked: “What’s the ONE thing you’re struggling with most right now?” Then I should have written a focused book solving the specific...
Julie Cunningham December 8, 2025 One reader, one message ↓ Hey there Reader, When I started writing my upcoming book, When Someone You Love Has Diabetes, I anticipated that my readers would be the spouses, adult children, and other friends and family members of people living with type 2 diabetes. But as I'm editing the book, I keep catching myself. Every few paragraphs, I stop and ask: "Who am I actually talking to here?" The answer keeps coming back: the spouse.
