Thinking About Joining the Blueprint Summer Challenge? Join us for an Open House on July 6!
Mark your calendars!
Every summer, we promise ourselves the same thing: This is the summer I finally make real progress on my book. But then July hits. The kids are home, vacations get scheduled, or you sit down at the laptop and realize you aren’t entirely sure what your manuscript actually needs next. Do you need to write more words? Toss out the middle? Start a major revision?
If you are starting a book, stuck in a messy draft, or trying to figure out how to revise, we have a plan for you.
On July 10, we are kicking off the #AmWriting Blueprint Summer Challenge—a six-week deep dive designed to give you a proven framework, expert eyes, and a community of accountability buddies to help you build a stronger book.
But before we dive in, we want to answer your questions and help you figure out exactly how this challenge can work for your specific project.
