My Collaborative Framework

I find more inspiration and motivation in writer collaboration than from any other pursuit. Are you one of those writers who agrees?

Do you feel more in sync with other writers than with, oh, the people at work? Or your accountant? Do you find it easier to brainstorm with folks who don’t scoff at the ideas you come up with? Especially when those ideas might occasionally focus on topics such as the different ways one character can poison another?

If so, consider joining my membership community and attending Craft Chat meetings. We:

• Enjoy exchanging ideas and viewpoints
• Strive to improve our skills and are open to different techniques
• Work to become better storytellers and/or refine our writing styles and voices
• Love the synergy of a small, intimate group

Exclusive Content and Access to Craft Chat

In addition to the regular posts on my blog, I post exclusive content for my members. For me, it really is all about writer collaboration. At the Craft of Writing level, you’ll find craft tips, videos, how-tos, and information shared by other writers. Recent posts include Birth Order Characteristics and Creating Character Profiles.

You’ll also find downloadable forms, such as character profile templates. I upload new content on a regular basis, so keep checking back.

Craft Chat: The Place for Writer Collaboration

I offer access to monthly Craft Chat meetings to members of my community. They offer a casual but structured environment where  we chat about our craft, the challenges we face, and our continued progress. My hope is for each writer to connect with one or more other attendees, without pressure, to find what he or she needs.
