✨ 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. - @Leslie Barber — our recent indie author who just hit #1 in three categories. Leslie's bringing real-time launch wisdom, running the Substack crash course, and co-leading sessions on practical AI for indie authors. - @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.

Love ya, @Sierra Melcher and I’m so dang proud of all you have accomplished (and continue to accomplish). 💖

This isn't another thing on your plate. It's the medicine for that beautiful manuscript that's been 80% done for way too long. ⭐ Here's what happens:⭐ - 📌 Weekly check-ins - 📌 Monthly milestones - 📌 Peer feedback on the third week - 📌 A finished (or significantly closer to finished) manuscript on the other side (or other project) No forced intensity. Just consistent, sustainable momentum with 6+ writers who get it. 🔥Why this container actually matters:🔥 🗯️ Structure🗯️ — 90 days broken into monthly + weekly milestones prevents overwhelm. 🙏 Accountability🙏 — Monthly peer sharing. Like a collective yoga class—shared energy that moves you forward. 📌 Proof it works📌 — This community won 5 book awards this week alone! Members are placing books in local shops. Results. 📚 Clarity*📚 — You get mapped out. Writing → formatting → marketing. No more confusion about what's next. 🚀 The real shift: 🚀 You're not trying to white-knuckle finish alone. You're moving with people who understand the creative roller coaster—the excitement AND the moments where you want to quit. That's normal. You're just not alone in it. 🫵 Your move: 🫵 ✋ Raise your hand 🤚 — Comment below and commit to 90 days. Let the community know you're in. 📝 What are you building? — A finished manuscript? Podcast episodes? Articles? Short stories? Be specific. Momentum is contagious—when others see your goal, it lights up theirs. 📆 June 1 start.📆 If you're in Finishliner or Author Studio, you're already in. No extra cost, no application. If you're not in those tiers yet and you want the sprint, now's the time to upgrade. The container is the medicine. 🩹

Ideal for writers in the revision phase or prepping for it. We will be talking with @Emily Sutherland, editor& award-winning ghostwriter, and Author & CEO Sierra Melcher about the trials & tribulations/the emotional rollercoaster required to move a rough draft into a manuscript, ready for publication. ADD TO YOUR CALENDAR ahead of time. See you there TOMORROW
