Hi! I'm Ash Ambirge, and I'm the Founder of Meat & Hair creative writing newsletter, author of the Penguin Random House book THE MIDDLE FINGER PROJECT, creative writing expert, and "Instructor of Delight." I checked with the IRS and they said definitely not to list that on any forms but I'm definitely listing it here because that's what creative writing is all about: delight. And that's what Meat & Hair is all about, too: using words to delight your customers as your greatest competitive advantage. (When they copy your idea, what do you have left? A race to the bottom in pricing is not the answer. You only have *your brand*.) That's precisely why I launched this daily newsletter—which I call "the most fun-to-read newsletter in the world"—because every morning I curate the internet's most irreverent, fun-to-read paragraphs, copy & content, and sends that morning’s favorites straight to your inbox—because creative charisma rubs off like butter, and we desperately need it to. It's about creating pleasure through text. It's about writing things that show your audience a real desire to be there with them. It's desiring them and having them desire you in response. It's creating a paradise of words people want to be in. Most writing is frigid, automatic, unaffectionate, static, unimpressionable, limp, passionless, detached—and wholly catatonic. I died three hours ago and you're still talking, Brenda! But centuries of corporate writing and schooled writing and essays and theses and trying not to sound like an incompetent boob on your resume have made us this way. We've mechanically removed all pleasure, convinced this is what made us professional. But oh, is that a whopper of a lie: what makes you a professional is a diligent devotion to your work. And your work inevitably involves writing. No matter what you do for a living, the modern economy demands that you be a writer, because the internet runs on words. Whether you're a content marketer, a freelancer, a storyteller, or a professional writer, writing for pleasure is one of the most critical skill sets you need. No one's going to be bored to death into a sale. No one's going to begrudgingly turn the page. There's nothing like being stuck with a sentence you don't want to read. String enough of those sentences together, and you become a person no one wants to be stuck listening to. And that's a problem. Not just professionally, but have you ever BEEN to dinner with someone who just drones on? This newsletter is designed to help you add effervescence to your words. To use creativity to help you get what you want—and help your reader also get what they do: an experience that makes them better for having engaged. Pleasure, delight, and the satisfaction that comes from having read something that felt good to read. Whether you're writing your bio, a sales page, a love letter or a novel, it's never about you, and always about the emotions your words create. Together, we're going to free you from the shackles of "professional," and help you write with merriment, joy, and creativity—not just for you, but for them.

Newsletters are dead for the 1,786,356th time. Meat & Hair is wanted for murder and I’m officially an accomplice. I’ve also become an addict. Each hit makes me smarter than a 1776 Harvard Graduate. You should try it. Come on. Just one hit.

@ashley_palmer Ha!! Ash!! At first I was like, OH NO! Dead?! And then I realized what you were doing there. 😂 (P.S. Let's all pretend we graduated from Harvard.)

@andrea_featherstone This is maybe the best review I've ever gotten about anything in my entire life. Or at least, one of the ones I've enjoyed the most! ☺️ THANK YOU, FEATHERSTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You always make me blush!
