🌟 Christmas Market! Coaching + Book Sales!

Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025

Hi Friend,

Excited by the end of year -- I have some fun plans in the works for you -- but also wishing for more time off.

More cozy time with the cats, you know. (Instagram link)

What are your plans for 2026?

I'd love to hear! If you care to share.

And if writing or publishing a novel is in the cards for you, here's a bunch of resources to help you!

🧑🏼‍🎄 A Christmas Market for you 🎄

Brought to you by Daniel David Wallace.

Santa Wallace has created a delightful Christmas market with over 30 booths, all stocked with goodies for writers.

There, you will find so many great courses, books and writer support tools in Daniel's Christmas Market.

Here's the quick map of just some the booths! (So many awesome classes!)

Marketing by Shelby - The BookTok Blueprint
🎄 Beth Barany - Heart-Centered Marketing for Fiction Authors (my course!)
Sandy Vaile - Write Backstory With Confidence
Natasha Sass - 2026 Cozy Mystery Planning System
and so much more!!!!

All of this is available for $77 USD. ($1900+ value!)

And ... the best part if you've got writer friends, you can grab two tickets to the market for $98 and give one to that writer friend who does not need another journal or mug.

The Market will only be available for a short time! Sales ends Dec. 31st 11:59 pm PST/8:59pm PT.

Take a look: (click on Daniel's face!)

🎄

Writer's Christmas Market 15+ writing courses. $1900+ value

Sale! 50% off!

Can I help with your story?

I'm offering a holiday special—a deeply discounted coaching session for science fiction & fantasy writers.

I quickly called it "Next Step Coach sessions."

But who knows what that means?

Instead, I should have called it "Get me writing again" coaching. Or "How to handle backstory" coaching. Or maybe "How do I know if my story is any good?" coaching.

But even those didn't resonate with me.

And besides, I can help writers with so many things.

So I made a deck for YOU showing 30+ common questions from my coaching sessions.
