FEMME LED will travel to Japan 🇯🇵 this Saturday!

✨ Meet Your Founding Leaders — The Heart of Write Your Book Hey writers, We've reached a moment where the community needs to evolve, and I wanted you to hear it straight from me. As we transition to our new tiered structure (June 1), READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE, I'm introducing something I've been dreaming about: Founding Leaders. This is a small circle of 3–5 members who are stepping up to help shape the next chapter of Write Your Book alongside me. What's a Founding Leader? A Founding Leader is someone who's been showing up consistently, building community, and living the writing life in a way that makes others believe it's possible. They're not staff. They're peers, the people who make this community feel alive because they're genuinely invested in it. They're choosing to contribute one meaningful way per month (leading a cowriting room, hosting an industry expert session, mentoring newer writers, running a roundtable — whatever matches their gifts). Who are they? I'm thrilled to welcome: - @Carol Britton — bringing leadership, mentorship, and weekly community updates. Carol's committed to sharing her writing journey every week to keep the energy alive. - @Tracy MacDonald — with deep editing expertise and a gift for honest feedback. Tracy's hosting our Industry Expert session on editing, co-leading quarterly syncs, and helping us think through how peer critique actually works. - @Brittney Dunnigan — a fiction writer and longtime member of the community — will be hosting the co-writing sessions and helping us stay accountable to our goals. - @Emily Sutherland — international bestselling ghostwriter, editor, and screenwriter. Emily's facilitating our storytelling workshops, hosting author interview sessions, and bringing her professional expertise to the editing table. She's also joining the 90-day sprint to model accountability for her own creative projects.

We are thrilled that one of our authors, @Aubrey Yee , has been honored this year with the Silver Poetry (Lyric Prose) Nautilus Book Awards for her book OUR BELOVED FUTURES https://amzn.to/4gYWbHo What an accomplishment.

Do you ever feel like you get to the end of the week and you have accomplished nothing? I often do. But never, not once, has it been true. I have found, rather than a TODO list, I have fallen in love with the DONE list ✅. It has saved me many times from feeling not enough. So, for example. and at the end of a day. week, month, make a list... but I find daily matters. I forget.
