My teaching schedule has swapped around a bit for the end of the year and also I injured myself so I'm opening up the good old Mailbag again so you can request the topic of the next few newsletters

sooo, long story short, some unknown calamity befell my blog so I had to reset The Whine Seller back to January 2024 because that was the last uncorrupted back up we had and this is all very *lolsob*

Make Ready to Write comes out today! Read the first chapter for free right here to get a taste!

I've moved my mailing list over to Jetpack and, to celebrate, I'm offering a free copy of Building a Writing Life just for signing up!

Long time followers know I have a ton of joint problems so I write with dictation A LOT. Coming up on May 16th, I'll share some of my tips for getting the most out of it and making it work for you!

If you want a free copy of my new guide to prepping a major writing project, you can sign up for an ARC in this post!

This workshop is members only BUT I'm teaching at CRW twice this year so if you join you'll get both my classes for one price PLUS all the other free and discounted workshops for members so it's a pretty sweet deal #amwriting #writingworkshop #writing #writingcommunity

Come join this Zoom workshop to learn my dark secret that I'm a total nerd about creative goal setting and trying to use productivity hacks to make the writing process smoother / easier #amwriting #writingworkshop #writing #writingcommunity

Believe it or not, this Jersey girl's first time ever teaching for New Jersey Romance Writers (though anyone can join this Zoom workshop for a mere $10 no matter where you are!) #amwriting #writingworkshop #writing #writingcommunity

I'm offering an extremely sexy deal with this class: if you actually participate, I'll give you a free copy of my upcoming book about how to prep a novel! #amwriting #writingworkshop #writing #writingcommunity

This scene & sequel class was born when I was a student in someone else's writing class and talking about how I use S&S and a fellow student asked if I could be their writing coach which made me feel like, "Oh, haha should I be teaching this?" #amwriting #writingworkshop #writing #writingcommunity
