If you’re new to me, I’m an award-winning, published author of two books, with two more on the way. I completed my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia. A former literary magazine editor, I’ve now been a writing mentor to hundreds of writers over the past few years.
And while that all sounds magical – and it totally is! – finishing and publishing my own books was no walk in the park. In fact, when I first started taking my writing seriously, I had NO IDEA how to actually finish a book. I knew I’d dreamed about it ever since I was a little girl reading with my flashlight under the bed covers, but even with a completed Master's thesis in hand I didn’t know what to do next. I had lots of words on the page but not a real book.
But not finishing my books and getting them out into the world didn’t feel like a real option – I knew that it was necessary for my identity and sense of self-worth to complete the projects that meant so much to me. I finished a book of poetry and a book of fiction and saw them published within a few years of each other, winning some awards along the way.
How?
Because I finally figured out the FOUR major ingredients that would allow me to finish with ease and write all the way to The End – and I want to share all that with you in this 5-day Bootcamp!
