Have you ever gotten feedback that makes you think "did they even read my manuscript?" I know I have--but that feedback was actually EXACTLY what I needed in order to level up my writing skills. Read this week's newsletter for more!

Hot take: the query might be harder than writing the book.
You spent months (years?) drafting, revising, rewriting your manuscript. Now you’re supposed to distill it into 250–350 words.

We'll see you in June!

From Critique to Clarity Handling Tough Feedback
From Critique to Clarity Handling Tough Feedback Hello Scribblers! Thanks so much for watching!Learning how to accept critique and turn feedback into actionable revisions is one of the most important skills...

Accepting critique & turning it into actionable revisions is a vital skill. Learning to not take it personally can be tough, but once you step back into objectivity, you're going to level up your writing!

One of the things I love most about writing is breaking rules and defying expectations. So many of those nitpicky "rules" we learned in school about writing just aren't true. Read our latest newsletter for more!

If you’ve been thinking:
• “My query’s close… but not quite there.”
• “I know the rules, but I need expert eyes.”
• “I just want to feel confident before I hit send.”
That’s exactly who this Query Intensive is for.
