Each week, join fellow sprinters for a live hour of focus and encouragement. You’ll take part in timed 15-minute writing sprints to boost your word count, while a guest host shares quick craft tips on themes that matter most during the drafting stage.

Show up, get words down, and leave each session with progress on your manuscript — and a sharper sense of your craft.

This week: Keep your readers hooked at the novel’s halfway mark. I'll be joined by international bestselling author S.J. Watson (Before I Go to Sleep) between sprints, and we'll explore how to crank up tension and raise the stakes just when your story risks sagging.
