For writers who want to make real progress on their novels this summer.
You know that feeling when you want to write…
…. but the time just disappears?
I can help.
I’m not going to promise that you’ll “finish a book in 12 weeks.”
But I am going to promise you protected writing time, a community that actually shows up, and gentle-but-real support that helps you keep your commitment to yourself.
If you’re ready to show up for your draft this summer, I’d love to have you in.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Write Togethers — Protected writing time to help you maintain momentum
- 2×/week (90 minutes)
- Quick goals → silent writing sprints → quick share-out
- Optional “camera on” coworking vibe for focus
Accountability Meetings — Celebrate wins and strategize for the week ahead
- 1×/week (45–60 minutes)
- Share wins, word count check-in
- Discuss what’s blocking progress
- Set commitments for the next 7 day
One-on-ones — Personalized guidance and support from a developmental editor, book coach, and fellow writer
- 1×/month private session (30 minutes)
- Focus areas:
- Plot, character, world logic, pacing, and “what happens next” clarity
- Diagnosing what is slowing drafting
- Setting a realistic writing plan for the next month
Progress tracking — Visible accountability and community support
- Dedicated check-in channel inside the Magic & Ink Discord community
- Weekly prompt and check-in threads

FAQ
Will this guarantee I finish my book this summer?
No. And that’s on purpose. I’m not selling you an outcome you can’t control. I am offering structure, support, and protected time that makes finishing more possible — because you’re showing up for the work.
What if I can’t attend every session?
That’s okay. Come to what you can. The point is building a rhythm you can keep.
I’m early in the draft / restarting / revising. Can I still join?
Yes. This is for anyone who wants consistent forward motion on a long project.
