I have always been a lover of fairy tales, folk tales since I was a little girl.

And then as a teen, I devoured science fiction and fantasy short stories and novels.

And I've never looked back.

As a writing teacher and coach, it took for a few years to specialize into helping science fiction and fantasy writers.

I'm so glad I did.

Now with my students and clients, I get to focus on what I love:

• the craft of world building, character transformation, and compelling storytelling

• the creative process of entering into and exiting the flow state

• the mindset gifts we each possess that underpin our psychology

Specifically, these days I help writers in a new membership that I started back in the spring: the "Edit Lab" for short -- also known as the Edit Your Future: Science Fiction and Fantasy Revision Lab.

I have been running it in beta at $5 a month, and it is time to raise the price to make the program sustainable.

Today's the last day for that.

Starting tomorrow, July 9, 2026, I am raising the price to $40 a month, so that you get well supported with a monthly call --which is today at 10 am PT/1 pm ET -- where we do:

• an accountability check-in,

• a little teaching,

• take questions,

• and, the star attraction, do live edits.

This is the thing that people tell me is so worth it.

You get to send in 200 words; we will look at it together; and you will get feedback.

I take as many people as we can do in the time allotted, which is 60 to 90 minutes, depending on who shows up.

The Edit Lab is a great way to get some professional, experienced eyes on your work from me.

You also get support in other ways when we’re not meeting live, including lessons on editing your science fiction and fantasy novel, starting with fundamentals.

Those are accessible in our private premium audio channel.

More goodies are coming soon as I continue to build out this membership.

This email is to make sure you know today is the last day of $5 a month membership.

If now works for you, you can join now for $5, come to the monthly call, in a few hours, July 8th at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, and that price is locked in forever.
