Writers of all stripes—fiction, nonfiction, memoir—this one’s for you! Write On 2026 is a free online series hosted by Book Coaches Canada, with sessions designed to help you plan, draft, revise and publish like a pro, with zero stress and max creativity.

Join me and book coach Nita Collins on May 31st @ 12:45ET for our session The Art of Revision: Seeing Your Story Anew. We'll demystify the revision process and leave writers with a simple framework to help guide the next draft.
