Summer can be a challenging time to prioritize your writing. But this group makes it EASY. Sprints. Support. Conversations. Mini workshops. This works!

Give it a try!

It’s on my very short list to watch!

Beginning a Novel: The Secret Is, There Is No Secret - Highlights Foundation I saw a quote the other day, attributed to Kabir, which said: “Wherever you are, that’s the entry point.” I love the simplicity of that, and it feels particularly relevant […]

"a 600-word picture book manuscript was written in the same way as a 40k word MG novel. One word at a time. One paragraph. One chapter." Thanks @christebbetts.bsky.social @highlightsfound.bsky.social #kidlit

Join us tomorrow (Jan 20) for writing, learning, community, and sharing work!

I’m a hardass about this in theory (I know it’s another matter in practice) but I think we only owe a conscious/considered choosing to tell the truth as we know (and have lived) it. That consideration might lead to withholding, but in theory, I don’t think I OWE anyone the withholding of my story.

In all the teaching I've done, nothing has been more effective for more writers than the kind of gentle accountability that comes from a regular schedule of shared, quiet writing time. Join me and my co-host @saraharonson.bsky.social to make a commitment to your writing in ‘25!

Thank you! I hope you can make it! :)

Hello LA area friends! Please share this with anyone who might be interested...

This event with me and Andrea J. Loney is (suddenly) coming up fast... January 14 (online) and January 25 (in person). Registration and info here: www.scbwi.org/events/theat...

Thanks for reading (and book clubbing)! :)

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

I’ll be back hosting Together Alone this week, 12-1pm Eastern, Monday-Friday on Instagram Live. No rules, no requirements, just join in for as much or as little of this shared quiet writing time as you like.
