From plotting to polishing, these free tools and resources have been carefully curated to help authors as they write their novels. I hope you find them useful!

Write Together Co-Working Sessions

It’s important to make time for your writing, and I’m here to help! I’m hosting free twice-monthly co-writing sessions on Zoom for writers of all stages and skill levels. Sessions are held on the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. EST and the third Tuesday of every month at 1 p.m. EST. Bring a writing project and a goal you want to achieve and join other writers for a laid-back, come-as-you-are online meetup. Everyone is welcome!
