My audience: small business owners, freelancers, self-employed, creative folk. If that is you, keep on reading.
🎄Christmas / 2026 Listicles & Gift Guides
I'm pulling together some (very) last-minute Christmas Gift Guide articles to go on HypeYourself.com and these may roll-over into more 2026 listicles.
I will cross-promote on my social media channels and share in the monthly free-to-read = combined audience of 40k.
I'm looking for:
- Best business books for 2026 - Best journals / planners (may broaden to stationery but under biz theme) - Best gifts for creatives (physical products only) - Best newsletters for small business owners, freelancers, self-employed, creative folk
If you have something please email me back with the subject line:
Pitch: Best Business Books for 2026 (or whatever cateogory you fit in)
Please include: - a small paragraph - RRP - link to buy - a JPEG ghost cut-out image. Deadline: Monday 8th December
📣 Directory of Opportunities
Many of you know I create a bimonthly directory of opportunities for paid readers. Last edition is here.
If you have a podcast, newsletter, book, membership, community or brand and you are looking for fresh guest experts please submit your outlet here.
Deadline Monday 15th.
This issue goes to paid readers next week — so if you’re an expert looking for opportunities, now might be a good time to try the 7-day free trial.
One landed opportunity is usually worth more than the annual cost of The Hype (and yes, it’s a business expense).

Luxury cabin at Rêve Retreat
✍🏼 COME WRITE WITH ME? Four cabins left for my 2026 creative writing retreat. Perfect if you're finally ready to start the big project, finish the thing you’ve been sitting on, or just reconnect with your creative voice away from Slack, school runs and life admin.
It’s a small, intentional group. We write in the mornings, natter over delicious food, and finish the day by a fire with conversations that go way beyond word counts.
June has already sold out but I'd love to see you later in the year. More info here:
