Turn articles and notes into a newsletter draft
By the PostReady Team · Updated
A newsletter gives readers something a feed cannot: a considered selection, in order, with your view on why it matters. That makes it a natural destination for material you already have, such as an article you wrote, notes from a meeting or links you shared during the week. The work is choosing and connecting, not producing more text.
Pick one main story
Readers open a newsletter for its lead. Choose the item with the clearest consequence for your audience and give it most of the space. Secondary items get two or three sentences each; anything you cannot explain briefly is a candidate for next week rather than a long list.
- Lead: the story with the clearest consequence for readers.
- Supporting items: two or three sentences each.
- Close: one action, question or thing to watch.
Keep sources and dates visible
A newsletter is often forwarded and read later, when context is gone. Name the source of each item, keep dates for anything time-sensitive, and link to the original. If an item comes from private notes or a customer conversation, include only what you have permission to share.
Draft the issue from the same source
Paste the article or your notes into the PostReady Studio and choose the newsletter channel. The draft is editable text, so you can reorder items, adjust the subject line and rewrite the intro in your own voice. From the same source you can also prepare LinkedIn or X drafts to promote the issue.
Review, then send from your own tool
Read the issue once for facts and once for flow. Check every link, number and quote against the source, and test the subject line with the free subject line checker. PostReady does not send newsletters; copy or export the reviewed draft into your email platform and send it from there.

Frequently asked questions
Can PostReady send my newsletter?
No. PostReady prepares an editable newsletter draft. You copy or export it into your email platform and send it from there.
Can I combine several sources into one issue?
Yes. Paste the relevant text from each source into the Studio input, with a short note on which item should lead. Review the order and attribution before sending.
How long should a newsletter built from an article be?
Long enough for the lead story and a few short items. A focused issue that respects readers' time is usually better than a complete summary of everything.
AI drafts require human review. Direct publishing and scheduling are not currently available.
