In addition to blog posts, the magazine, and tutorials, Carrie also publishes weekly and monthly newsletters. From the general weekly newsletter to group newsletters, there’s a newsletter for almost every reader. To help you decide which newsletter subscriptions are the best fit for you, let’s talk a little bit about each one.
Newsletter Subscriptions: The Options
Weekly Newsletter
The most popular newsletter is the weekly newsletter, which has now been published for over five years.
The main feature of the weekly newsletter is an exclusive article available only to subscribers. But the weekly newsletter also contains a weekly colored pencil tip, early-bird offers on special events, and links to all of the blog posts published during the week.
The newsletter publishes almost every Saturday and is free to everyone who is looking for a more personal way of learning more about colored pencils.
Subscribe to the weekly newsletter here.
Instant Notification Newsletter
Do you you want the links to Carrie’s new blog posts, but not articles, tips, and other features of the weekly newsletter? The instant notification newsletter is your best choice.
Unlike the weekly newsletter, which goes out once a week, this newsletter publishes every time Carrie publishes a new post. Most of the time, that’s once a week, but there are weeks when she publishes two, three or more posts. On those weeks, you’ll get notification for every post.

Special Group Subscriptions
Carrie knows that you may be busy and not have time for a lot of newsletters. That’s okay! She also offers a three special group subscriptions.
Class Group Newsletter
This group is for readers looking for colored pencil instruction beyond what Carrie offers on the blog and through the weekly newsletter.
This newsletter publishes primarily when a new learning opportunity is in the works. You won’t be bothered with a lot of promotional emails.
However you may also receive occasional emails asking for input on potential future classes or feedback on classes you’ve taken. So when you sign up for this newsletter, you get more than just class news.

Colored Pencil ACEOs with Carrie Group Newsletter
Colored Pencil ACEOs with Carrie is a group for artists who enjoy creating art trading cards. Three newsletters are published each month.
The first presents the PDF gallery for the previous month and the challenge for the current month. This newsletter also includes an article specific to miniature art with helpful articles on framing, miniature art exhibits, and other topics.
The second newsletter is a followup to the first. It also includes the gallery download and a reminder of the monthly challenge.
The final newsletter is a “last minute” warning that the month is about to end, reminding members to submit their ACEO artwork if they haven’t already.

CP Magic! News & Special Offers Group Newsletter
This newsletter is for readers who enjoy the blog, but want to hear only when new issues of CP Magic! magazine are published, when new tutorials are published, or when there are special sales and events.
Carrie doesn’t do very many sales or special events, so subscribers to this newsletter most often receive only two emails a month. The first is when each issue of the magazine publishes on the first of the month.
The second comes at mid-month for those who may not have purchased the magazine when it first came out. A reminder, if you will.
On occasion, Carrie will email you with news of an upcoming special topic for the magazine and seek input, feedback and suggestions.

Newsletter Subscriptions in Closing
Those are the newsletters currently available to readers. All of them are free, you can subscribe to as many of them as you wish (though if you want to subscribe to all, the weekly newsletter is your best offer, since all information is available to those subscribers).
You can also unsubscribe at any time, no questions asked.
If you don’t see your favorite special interest group in the list above, send Carrie an email with your suggestion. Other readers are probably also interested in that topic.
