Hello ,

Summer is coming! And that means It’s time for a little seasonal switchup of the schedule—and some special events—to help us all beat the heat (while leaving plenty of time for fun in the sun) 😎

Starting in June—we’re introducing Workshop Wednesdays! 

Mark your calendar for 10 am PDT and come ready to learn. This month we’re excited to announce the following workshops:

June 7 - Backstory and Flashbacks with Eileen (Crafty Critique Club Topic) 

June 14 - SiWC Writing Contest and Conference Opportunities with Stephanie

June 21 - Deep Dive into The Creative Act (by Rick Rubin) with Crystal

June 28 - What is your book really about? Pitching to yourself (to write it) and to others (to sell it) with Eileen

And be sure to check out our list of special events coming your way in the next couple of months:

June 3 is the 12 Week Year planning session with Crystal 

We do this once per quarter, and get together to celebrate what we’ve accomplished in the past 12 weeks, and look at where we are and where we want to go in the coming season… so if you’re ready to set yourself up for your ideal creative summer—RSVP now (https://creative-academy-for-writers.mn.co/events/summer-2023-12-week-year-planning-retreat-10am-12pm-pst) and we’ll see you there!

June 10 Social Saturday with Eileen 

Come and meet your fellow TCA members as we chat about how you get the words in when the heat is on (and the kids may be home.) 

July 8 is the Summer Book Launch with Stephanie 

We’re super excited to celebrate with Creative Academy members Lena Gibson, Sarah Neeson, Claris Lam, and Valerie Buchanan as they launch their new books out into the readersphere.
