[Write Your Novel With Confidence] You're invited!
Reader,
Do you aspire to write a novel in 2023? I do! But I've also got a business to run and a busy family life. Sometimes I struggle to fit it all in.
Is it possible to write your book in only a few writing sessions a week?
Absolutely.
But is it as easy as some people make it sound?
Definitely not.
And it’s downright impossible if you never get started in the first place. That's were a dose of creative inspiration can help.
Crafting a novel takes time, and it takes support - sometimes a lot of it. And a sprinkle of the fairy dust of inspiration can't hurt either.
That’s why I’m so excited for Be A Bestseller 4.0: Write Your Novel With Confidence. It’s a gathering of writers who know the challenges you’re facing in your work.
Writers who’ve taken time to understand how best to create writing rituals, use a story structure that works for them, and build a community. Authors who use new ways to find fans and keep them engaged.
This 12-day summit lets you in on their strategies and tips, and gives you insights you won’t find anywhere else on how to revise, world-build and put together a query letter that rocks!
It’s totally free, but you have to sign up to get access.

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....
