I’m excited to be here and to learn from so many fabulous people. This past weekend I watched Project Hail Mary, and I was literally blown away. It is so encouraging to see a book adapted so well for the big screen. I mean, I’m now out here searching for my own Rocky to put on my desk. If you haven’t seen it, you need to go. Amaze, amaze, amaze.

This is exciting! On May 7th at 7 pm MDT, in the calendar tab, we have a call scheduled with Aaron N Hall. Aaron is an award-winning author, has built a following of almost 500k followers on social media, and is publishing his 10th title on April 28, 2026. Join us to learn what he is doing to achieve his dream of being a full-time author, and ask him questions!

Just barging in to say hi and I hope to meet some of you at StoryCon! I'm driving from Denver tomorrow! HMB

I attended StoryCon for the first time this year and really enjoyed it! I saw quite a few people I already knew, but met a lot more. I even got to meet in person the first editor I hired to help me with one of my books. Robin Patchen presented at the conference - she edited "I Was Called Barabbas." Glad I went!

Hi friends! I'm JoAnne. I've been writing stories since I was six, I love ridiculously long walks, and home is wherever I happen to be at the moment. I've done a fair bit of travel and have experienced a lot of things, but I'll never live long enough to see all the places I want to see, meet all the people I want to meet, and learn all the things I want to learn. My current WIP is a teen-superhero-origin-story-meets-psychological-thriller (how's that for dashes?) and I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed by the revision process. First drafts are a piece of cake for me, but drafts two through a million make up a vast expanse of uncharted territory that's frankly terrifying. Excited to connect with and get inspiration from y'all!
