Hey gang!

Just a quick message to give you a heads-up that some Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday deals have already started to roll out for tools that many of use, love, and recommend in the Creative Academy.

Some of these are affiliate links which means if you buy the product, you'll be supporting the Creative Academy at no extra cost to you.

ProWritingAid

Get 50% of the lifetime license and 50% off an annual subscription. This is the the best time to get this must-have tool since they only do this deep discount once a year.

The ProWritingAid deal ends on November 28th.

DepositPhotos

If you're planning to make social media images in the coming year, the DepositPhotos deal is the best you can get bar none for high-quality images. Even book cover designers use these images.

Their Black Friday deal has launched at $35 for 100 image downloads that never expire! Normally, you'd pay $500 for 100 images.

There's no better deal to get access to over 195 million high-quality and royalty-free stock photos and vector images.

The DespositPhotos deal ends on November 20th according to the check-out page.
