Pursuing Untold Stories

It Really Couldn't Wait.

​

Ha! Look at me, sending another email after I promised you could expect me in your inboxes quarterly. I should have put a disclaimer, because once you hear the good news, I think you'll agree that some things — like homemade bread — are best served piping hot from the oven.

​

Well...

​

Yesterday, I received an email from the Reese (yes, Witherspoon’s) Book Club LitUp Fellowship, announcing that I've been selected as one of the finalists for their 3rd year intake! Aah!!

​

While the 5 winners are yet to be announced, whether I win or not, this is such an encouragement for me to keep writing. To imagine the thousands of applicants they've likely received. And to make it this far? So exciting!

​

Now you understand why I couldn't wait until the June Newsletter edition to share this with you. Who knows? Maybe I'll be at a retreat at some undisclosed location with four other writers, learning more about the craft and business of publishing!
