Hi friends and future authors! I'm working on adding a new experience to my community. I've had Virtual Writing Retreats in the past, and they were a success. So you may be asking, what is a Virtual Writing Retreat? A VWR is an online space, live on Zoom, designed to provide a writing space where you can get your book written. It's from 8 am to 1 pm PST on a Friday, where, in addition to 45-minute writing blocks, you get to mingle and network with other authors in virtual breakout rooms at the retreat! Are you interested in a VWR? Take the poll, and give me your feedback in the comments below.

Vote for our next topic!!! Gather together for a warm, open conversation between authors who are figuring out how to get past their writing and publishing challenges. Every Thursday at 11 am PST, we pull up a chair together, pour a warm drink, and talk through the real questions that come up on the journey from idea to published book. Writing feels less overwhelming when you are not doing it alone, and The Author's Brew is proof of that every single week. Check the community calendar for our next session and make sure to download your preferred calendar so you do not miss out. Not yet a Premium member?
