I write stories that tell the truth about everyday people trying to survive and thrive. I’m guessing you might be interested in stuff like that. You might also be mustering up the courage to make a change or create something new. You are not alone. I deal with fear all the time. So kick off your shoes and stay a while. Let’s take this journey together!
The Contenders is the middle grade novel you’ve been waiting for: diverse characters who are funny and real. I especially recommend this book for reluctant readers. Eunice and her friends and family feel so real–they are flawed, kind, complex, a little mean at times, and just wanting to find their place in the world. Highly recommended for every middle school collection.
What I love so much about your writing is how personal it is. It gives me permission to accept and love my own humanity, while also giving really helpful tips and mindset shifts, and next steps too.
I would recommend your Fear & Writing class to writers at any stage of their career who struggle with fear (or synonym: “procrastination”). Everyone–from the aspiring writer who says, “I wish I could start writing” to the established writer who laments, “I’m a published author, why can’t I be more productive?”–everyone can get real value out of your class.
