July Writing Retreat
An enormous THANK YOU to the wonderful Jana for their brilliant hosting on our very first digital writing retreat. Writing warm-ups were had, many a paragraph was written and chapter outlined, and a wonderful time was had by all! A particular shout-out to Charlie and tiia for their presence and contributions. They have been crowned this month’s Manuscript Mavens and will be sat atop the member list for the month of August! Congrats!
Looking forwards, here’s what we’re bringing you for the month ahead:
