I'm writing to share news about an exciting event I'm participating in.

Since Sept 10 and through today Sept. 13, my friend Sloan is hosting the Sustainable Writing Summit, a free event aimed at helping writers keep the creative spark alive and keep showing up to the page — even in difficult times.

I hope you'll come check out my "Write the Future You Want to Live In: Sustaining Hope Through Storytelling" 

In this craft-focused session, I, an award-winning novelist and filmmaker, will reveal how the techniques of envisioning positive futures can transform both your stories and your writing practice.

The event is free to sign up.

And you'll also get access to 20+ more presentations and interviews that will help you make space for your art and figure out your next steps.

Each session will have a replay available for 24 hours after it launches. (So you can still listen to yesterday's and today's talks.)

You can find more info here:

There's something for every creative writer — whether you're working in fiction, memoir, or poetry; a plotter or a pantser; whether you thrive with clear, analytical next steps or a more meditative, reflective approach — there's something in these presentations to help you find a clear path forward.

And if you're interested in extra resources and accountability, there's an optional paid upgrade that includes extended access to all the sessions, as well as bonus resources and co-working sessions.

Hope to see you there!
