Welcome, Sweetheart!

Kella’s Sweethearts is my reader community, and we’d love to have you with us. My Sweethearts are always the first to know about new books, plans, giveaways, and more. Whether you prefer to stay in touch by newsletter, join a Facebook group, or hang out on Discord — or all three — there’s something for everyone.

Here’s a quick guide to your newsletter subscription options:

• All Sweethearts News — Anything I feel like sending you… writing news, new releases, excerpts, events, any giveaways and freebies, and whatever thoughts are on my mind when I go to send a newsletter.
• Light Sweethearts News — Fewer emails… I’ll send you stuff I think is more important but respect your wish to get fewer emails when possible.
• New Release News Only — The fewest emails… only when I literally have a new cover reveal, release date, or on release day.
• Giveaways & Freebies Only — If that’s what you’re here for, there’s no shame in that. I’ll only send you emails that include either a giveaway opportunity or a freebie to download.
• Smidgettes — My Smidgettes are my street team and inner circle. If you’re already a Smidgette, choose this option. If you’re not, you can choose this and I’ll consider it an application, but approval isn’t guaranteed, and you’ll get all the Sweethearts newsletters either way.
• None of these — This is okay too… if none of these options seem right for you at the moment, I’ll send you a welcome email to find out what you’re looking for and whether I can meet your author newsletter needs.

How often do newsletters go out?

Confession time: I’m really bad at this. I sometimes go months at a time without sending a newsletter out. Please don’t hold that against me! I try to send one a month, though, and sometimes more around a new release or if I have something special going on. I really can’t imagine sending more than three newsletters in a given month, even with a new release. I don’t actually think I’ve sent more than two, ever.

Privacy stuff

Your information will be confidentially shared with and stored by the newsletter service I use, and that’s it. I will never sell or share my newsletter list with anyone.

If you need your information fully obliterated from my newsletter service, please contact me so I can take that action for you. If you unsubscribe, a record still exists of your email address as an ex-subscriber, but there’s a process where I can request to have your information “forgotten” from the newsletter service’s site entirely. It takes 30 days to complete and is GDPR compliant. I’m happy to do that for you if you wish.
