August's writing yoga and a birthday


Hi, fellow writer!

How time flies! Last August, I published The Writer's Voice: Techniques for Tuning Your Tone and Style. If you don't know it, the book is filled with exercises you can use to stretch, strengthen, and play with your writing voice. You can even write in the print edition!

I'm trying to get better about celebrating milestones. So, to celebrate the book's one-year birthday, the ebook is only 99 cents through this weekend. If you don't have it yet, get your copy today and start expanding your writing voice

The Writer's Voice on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents.

The Writer's Voice on Apple Books, Nook or Google Play for 99 cents.

Sure, you can't write in an ebook, but you can work through it using your own notebook. And for less than a dollar, it's worth trying!

Want something you can write in?

I'm also discounting the PDF version from $14 to $3.99 during the sale, if you use this link:

Writer's Voice PDF for $3.99

If you try it, let me know which exercise is your favorite!

Writing Yoga for August

The August Writing Yoga exercise comes from The Writer's Voice—and it's always worth revisiting!

I came up with this exercise after playing a game called "Poetry for Neanderthals." (Highly recommended...)

Check out the writing yoga. I promise, it does reinforce an important writing skill.

Coming Up in August

  • On August 15, I'm teaching a course on creating workbooks with Jane Friedman. Learn more here. (It's only $25, so if you dream of making a workbook, join us!)
  • Two weeks from now, we'll do the next book give-away. Watch for that email.
  • Want to help me launch my next book? 🚀 I'm opening the launch team for the next book: The Curious Reader's Field Guide to Nonfiction Craft. If you want to be on the launch team, let me know and I'll send you details.

Until next time, keep writing!
