Today, we reached 60 members.
wow. I wanted to share a few thoughts. This group started as a school for copywriters, but over time it evolved into a space for creative writing. As many of you know, there are already two masterclasses available here, and I’ll be adding more in the future. The goal is simple: a free community where writers can read one another’s work and be read in return. From experience, I know that not everyone who joins will participate in good faith. Some people won’t read, engage, or contribute—they’ll simply try to use the community to promote themselves. Promotion is perfectly fine; there’s a dedicated section for it. But I’ll always ask for mutual respect and genuine participation. I’ve seen writing communities descend into chaos before. That’s not what we want here. I’d like this place to feel like an online retreat for writers. If you have doubts, ask. If you’ve written something you’re proud of, share it. If you’ve had a success worth celebrating, tell us. Someone will read it. Just remember to return the favour. Let me give you an example. For eight months, my growth on Substack was almost nonexistent. I just kept writing and publishing. Then, over the last couple of weeks, I started reading other people’s work, leaving thoughtful comments, and restacking articles and Notes. The result? I now gain new followers or subscribers every day (5, sometimes 7), without spending a penny. That’s the real secret to being noticed: invest time in getting to know people genuinely. A writer’s intelligence is reflected not only in what they write, but also in how they respond to the work of others. Every great writer has, at some point, engaged with another great writer. A community like this—full of ideas, ambition, and hope—deserves to be protected, enriched, and supported. Some of you are already doing exactly that. You write. You reply. You encourage others. Some even leave prayers and kind words. In many ways, it mirrors life outside these walls. Thank you for being here.

Write and Read - Brief Introduction
Alright. A new Board for your writing process! Yeah! Here you can share your work, pieces of what you’re writing, or excerpts from a book you’ve already published. Let’s keep this an honest board. If we write, we should read as well. That way, anyone who shares their work here and wants to be read will have a real audience of readers. But I’ll say it again: if you want people to read your work, return the favour by reading others too. That’s how a community works. I’d also encourage writers to share just a few pieces at a time, maybe one or two a day, so readers have the time to actually read them and, hopefully, leave a comment. 😃 How does all of this sound? enjoy!

High-Concept: The Premise That Sells Your Story
This is a gift for my community. It’s a topic unknown to many, but very important when we pitch our novel to an agent. A strong high-concept premise strengthens your chances of landing an agent and, subsequently, a publisher. In my classroom, inside Creative Writing Basic, you’ll find a clear breakdown of what “high-concept” really means, why agents look for it, and how to shape your idea so it works in a single sentence. At the end of the article, you’ll find a ready-to-use ChatGPT prompt to turn your story into a strong high-concept pitch. If you read it, please leave a comment with your high-concept premise. Also, not every story has a high-concept premise by default, so this is a challenge you might want to take on. 🙂 https://www.skool.com/marcello-iori-7056/classroom/b302f4fe?md=d6a6e730f03f4a4580b04663e53e3a18

Wednesday blessings brothers and sisters...
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 🌻🙏🦋 Colossians 2:8 NIV “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your truth and for reminding us that our hearts and minds must remain anchored in Christ. There are so many voices competing for our attention. The world tells us what to believe, what to value, how we should live, and where we should place our trust. Give us wisdom and discernment to recognize what comes from You and what does not. Lord, protect us from teachings that sound convincing but lead us away from Your Word. Help us never accept something simply because it is popular, widely repeated, or accepted by others. Teach us to bring everything back to Scripture and seek Your truth above human opinion. When confusion surrounds us, give us clarity. When pressure comes, give us courage. When doubt enters our minds, strengthen our faith. Keep our hearts anchored in Christ and fill our minds with Your Word. Help us walk in wisdom, stand firmly in truth, and still show grace and love to those around us. May our faith always be bigger than the noise of this world. In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏🌻🦋 Let your faith be bigger than the noise. 🌻🦋 We live in a world overflowing with opinions. Social media has an opinion. The news has an opinion. Friends and family have opinions. Society has opinions. And sometimes everybody sounds so confident that it can become difficult to separate the truth from noise. That's why Colossians 2:8 is such an important reminder. Not everything that sounds wise is God's wisdom. Not everything that becomes popular is truth. Not everything the world accepts is something we should allow to shape our hearts. Our foundation must remain Christ. Before allowing something to influence what we believe, we can ask: Does this agree with God's Word? Does this draw me closer to Christ?

Tuesday blessings brothers and sisters...
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 💚🙏 Proverbs 16:3 NIV “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding us that we don't have to figure everything out on our own. We can bring our plans, decisions, responsibilities, worries, and dreams directly to You. Lord, today we commit everything before us into Your hands. When we aren't sure which direction to take, give us wisdom. When we're waiting for an answer, give us patience. When something doesn't go according to our plans, give us enough faith to trust that You may be redirecting us toward something better. Open the doors that are part of Your will and give us the courage to walk through them. Close the doors that aren't meant for us and give us peace when You do. Help us work diligently while remembering that the outcome ultimately belongs to You. Keep us from becoming discouraged when progress seems slow or comparing our journey to someone else's. Father, establish the plans that honor You. Change the ones that don't. Above all, align the desires of our hearts with Your will. Whatever today brings, help us remember that You are already there. We give You our plans and trust You with the results. In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏💚 Good morning beautiful brothers and sisters! 💚🐸 Some mornings we wake up ready to conquer the world. Other mornings we look a little more like this little guy. 😂 But no matter how Tuesday found you this morning, God is already there. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us to commit whatever we do to the Lord. That includes the big dreams we're chasing, but it also includes today's ordinary responsibilities, decisions, frustrations, and little things on our to-do lists. We can make plans, and we should work toward them, but we don't have to carry the pressure of controlling every outcome. Give God your plans today. Ask Him to open the right doors and close the wrong ones. Ask Him to redirect you when necessary. Then do what you can with the day He's given you and trust Him with everything you can't control.
