The Announcement (It is a long one, but stick with it so you know what & why things are changing. Hi friends, I want to share some real changes happening in Red Thread Writers — changes I've been thinking about for a long time, and that I'm finally ready to make. This community has grown into something I'm proud of, and, like any growing thing, it needs a little pruning and reshaping to stay healthy. Here's what's coming, in plain language. Three tiers, three clear purposes We're moving to three membership tiers, each with a specific role. No more wondering which level is "for you" — each one is built for a specific stage of the writing and publishing journey. ✍️Writer — for writers who are building the habit, learning the craft, and finding their voice. Community access, monthly Writers Circle, the library of past teachings, and the support of writers who get it. This is home base. If you're early in the journey, or you want a soft, steady place to keep showing up, this is your tier. 🔥Finishliner — for writers who are ready to finish the book. This tier comes with structured support, the 90-Day Manuscript Sprint🚀 (more on this below), small-group accountability, and direct guidance from me on getting your manuscript across the finish line. If you've been circling your book for a year or more, this is the tier that breaks the spell. 👯Author Studio — for serious authors who want hands-on guidance and the closest possible work with me. Limited to ten seats. Includes everything in Finishliner plus monthly 1:1 strategy, premium support across publishing decisions, and a $1,000 publishing credit if you ultimately choose to publish with Red Thread Books. This is for the writers ready to treat their book like the professional project it is. Each tier is a doorway. You step into the one that matches where you actually are. 🚀 June 1: the 90-Day Manuscript Sprint begins 🚀 For all Finishliner and Author Studio members, we're kicking off a 90-Day Manuscript Sprint starting June 1. Here's the simple version:

Looking forward to sharing the upgrade and direction we are going. I will be reaching out to each of you to make this community better. Until then I would love to know what you gain from this group... Share in the comments. Thanks.
