Writer pals, as we venture into “best of” list season, remember to focus on your other accomplishments.

That new draft, the books you’ve read to hone your craft…

Maybe the new thing you’re doing outside of writing (these are so important!)

Zero in on what you can control, and keep your head up. ❤️

Attention applicants!

We're hosting an AMA on the RTM socials on 11/3 starting at 8 a.m. EST! We'll be answering questions about the program or anything specific you have for our mentors. (Some will also have AMAs on their personal pages, so keep an eye out!)

See you then!
