School for Writers®

Free support for your writing life (holiday edition)

Because your creativity deserves care — not pressure — this season.

Hey Reader,

The end of the year can easily feel overwhelming. Schedules get packed. Budgets get tight. Creative energy gets depleted.

But it can also be a beautiful moment of slowing down. Time with loved ones. Delicious treats. Feel good songs and movies on repeat.

Either way, I've got some great resources to support you.

And, since it's the holiday season and end of the year, I'm going to guess that your budget is tight.

While I believe creatives should absolutely be paid – and paid well – for their work, I also know that sometimes you just don't have it in your means to buy the course or coaching you want.

Which is why I'm here today with some low cost and free options to support you through the holidays and into 2026.

Because your story matters now more than ever.

Pro tip: don't have time to implement these during the rush of the holidays? Set a reminder in your calendar to come back to this email on January 6.
