Hello Reader,
Do you dream of writing a book? Not just any book—your book. Your collection of stories, your novel, your memoir.
For too many people, writing a book stays in the dream realm. They never get started on it. Or they start, but so often, never finish.
But it doesn’t have to be like that for you.
My friend and fellow book coach, Emma Dhesi, has brought together over twenty writers, creatives, publishers, and editors, to help you demystify the process of structuring your story for success.
Be A Bestseller 4.0: Write Your Novel With Confidence does just that. You’ll learn how to get started, keep the middle from dragging and, most importantly, finish your story.
The world is waiting for you to finish so, whether you’re starting out, halfway through or even revising, this summit has something for you.
If you want better engagement with your readers or to find a community of other writers, you’ll find a way forward.
I saved two of my most anticipated talks from Be A Bestseller 4.0: Write Your Novel With Confidence for last. Check it out:
Beth and Rhonda are both excellent, so make sure you tune in to their sessions. And if you enjoyed my holiday reading list last month, you'll want to tune into mine as well because I've got a special social and environmental justice reading list that's going out to Be A Bestseller 4.0: Write Your Novel With Confidence registrants before it becomes available to the general public. It's full of new releases as well as classics across age groups and genres. You're going to want to check it out.

Hope to see you there!
Warmly,
Julie

Hello Reader, I've been neglecting the "What I'm Reading" portion of my newsletter in all the busy-ness of the past few months, so today is a double-header. If you're looking for something to distract you from the news once you get your ballot in, this is the newsletter for you! Even though I'm mostly writing adult fiction these days, my love of middle grade endures. And part of the reason for that is the hope and heart that is so much a part of my favorite middle grade stories. This week,...
Hello Reader, I'm just about on the other side of a month of busy-ness and I'm not going to lie: I'm tired. But I also experienced some deep magic that has rekindled my writing spark. If you've been around here long, you know I'm almost as big a music buff as I am a book nerd. And this past weekend was something I would call once in a lifetime if not for the fact that I got to experience it last summer as well: Joni Mitchell and the Joni Jam. Bear with me, even if you don't love Joni the way...
Hello Reader, Ever since I read Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism this past spring, I've been grappling with my feelings about social media. Remember the good old days of Twitter, when we were a cozy little writing community running pitch contests, giving each other support and feedback, and tagging everything with #amwriting and #writingcommunity? At the same time, I was logging into Facebook daily to see photos of my friends and family instead of endless ads and toxic political memes. Sigh....
