Dear fellow writer,
I’m delighted to introduce the WriteSPACE Wayfinder, a playful yet powerful interactive tool for anyone who aspires to write more stylishly, productively, creatively, confidently, joyfully, or simply more.
The Wayfinder is designed to help you navigate the major highways, serendipitous side roads, and hidden treasures of the WriteSPACE, my ever-expanding online resource treasury for writers in search of craft-focused, research-based inspiration and guidance.
Over the next four weeks, in a series of short, sharp Swordcraft videos, I’ll be offering you a sneak peek into some of the Wayfinder’s key features: Discovery Paths, Reflection Pools, Landmark Resources, and more!
Paid subscribers will find a link to a guest version of the Wayfinder at the bottom of this post, and WriteSPACE and WS Studio members can access the full suite of Wayfinder resources in their membership area. Not a member? Now would be a perfect time to join our vibrant international community! Use the discount code SNEAKPEEK to try free for 30 days.
I’d love to see you there!
Writing as Composting (Nov 12)
There’s still time to register for Writing as Composting, my upcoming WriteSPACE Special Event featuring Higher Education researcher and teacher Michael W.

The first hour of this 2-hour event is FREE to all who register; the interactive workshop in the second hour is for paid newsletter subscribers only. Learn more and register here.
