Nervicited to share, but I can't keep it a secret any longer. I am writing a new book. It keeps me up late. I think about it all the time. It feels like a crush. 🥰 I'll tell you more about it soon. But for now, know I'm in love. INSTA post #bookwriters #bookaholic #authorlife

NEW EVENT on the community calendar. I am speaking on an industry panel, and you are invited. This is your invitation to join me and three of my lovely colleagues and friends for a candid conversation about the primary publishing models: traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing. Each of us comes with a beautiful mix of experiences in at least two fields. Sierra Melcher is an award-winning author and the founding publisher of Red Thread Publishing. Kacy Wren is the savviest project manager I know and the founding publisher of Wren House Press. And Jessica Taylor is a Young Adult agent with Martin Literary Management and the owner of The Reading Chamber, a Young Adult online bookstore. And Literary Agent Rose Conway of Foreword Lit Bring your questions. Between the four of us, we'll have the answers you seek. Reserve your spot via Eventbrite ✨ See you there! Got publishing questions? We've got answers. One hour. Every publishing pathway. All your questions welcome. This event runs on a Pay What You Can model — because good publishing advice shouldn't have a barrier to entry. REGISTER NOW. 📆 ADD TO YOUR CALENDAR

Red Thread collaborative books are becoming award winning, INTERNATIONAL best sellers! Yes, international best sellers! Hitting international best selling status is no small feat. Shout out to all the collaborative authors and Sierra for helping us scale mountains! 🩷

LESSON: There's No Right Way. There's Your Way. "How 6 writers in the same sprint have 6 completely different workflows." @Tracy MacDonald needs a library. Non-negotiable. Zero distractions. @Leslie Barber writes when the house is quiet (not scheduled). She uses AI to structure. @Emily Sutherland uses the hard deadline to push her to produce. @Sierra Melcher writes what excites her, not what she planned. @Barbie Applegate uses a four-part method (ideate, plan time, plan space, plan content). Emily, with ADHD, treats writing as an interruption to bypass perfectionism. @Carlie Kramer is finding her way and learning. Same sprint. Zero rules about HOW you write. We are here to experiment, play and find OUR way. Just: Write it. Finish it. Show up for feedback. The path looks different for everyone. That's not a bug. It's the point. Your process is valid. If you missed it, notes from today's call are in the classroom for all PREMIUM access folk. If you need this support and these calls, join us on Tuesdays at noon Eastern. We are starting another month strong !!!
