Hi Friend,

Hope you're having a lovely creative day and writing into your zone!


I'm excited to share that my talk about meeting and exceeding genre expectations to draw in your reader will go live today at 6pm PT/9pm ET at the Escape the Plot Forest (sorry, I had the name wrong!)


I'll be live chatting with the summit attendees tonight, so come join us! I look forward to sharing and chatting with you.


You can still sign up for free and get access to today's talks.


And by sign up today or tomorrow, you'll have access to the entire summit all day tomorrow, Thursday Oct. 26 from 9 am to 9 pm US Eastern time.



I love the enthusiasm and care Daniel brings to this fab writers online conference every year.



And am excited to share that Daniel is generously reopening the entire summit for free access. Wow! Thanks, Daniel!



That means you can dive into over 30 hours of captivating lectures, including the one I'll be delivering, as well as today's scheduled talks.



You can sign up now or at 9 am Thursday (US ET time). Either way, all the talks will open automatically at 9 AM ET .

By the end of tomorrow, the free access will come to a close.


If you find the training valuable and enriching, you might consider upgrading to a paid pass. 


This will not only give you unrestricted access but also offers you:

  • Exclusive bonuses and insights from the speakers.

  • A comprehensive PDF containing transcripts of each session.

  • An audio-only feed of the sessions to let you listen to them like a podcast. (Friends tell me they love this, so they can listen as they commute.)


If you do choose to upgrade, I have a bonus for you.



➡️ A 1-hour Transformational NLP* coaching session to help you step into clarity and action so you can write your novel ! (A $500 value)



To claim, just send me your receipt and I'll send you the calendar link to schedule our call.



Go here to register for this awesome event.



Whether you decide to check out the summit or not, I really wanted to share this event with you.


I think it’s well worth your time.


Escape the Plot Forest has been a fantastic platform for helping writers build new skills over the last few years, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it.


Let me know what summit sessions you joined, and I hope you enjoy the craft talk as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Sneak Peek to


Unlock the Secrets: Harness Genre Expectations to Amaze and Astonish Your Readers

When you know your genre's expectations - their obligatory scenes, tropes, story elements, and characters - then you can bring your imagination and heart to bear and delight and surprise the reader with something new and unexpected.


In my talk I deconstruct three genres and then chat with Daniel about how to take that leap into something new.


Hint: It's about the work of being a creative writer,


I even talk about cross-genre mash-ups - something I have lots of experience on, since I write sci-fi mysteries with a dash of romance and women's fiction.
