May I help you?

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

StoryADay May 2024 is fast approaching. And I need to hear from you, about how I can help you succeed in your writing..

Can you help me?

Answer this quick, two question survey to help me make sure I’m putting together tools and resources that will help you right now. (Sometimes I write back!)

And stay tuned for our 15th Anniversary StoryADay May.

For the first time in a few years I’m putting together all the prompts myself, taking everything I’ve learned from 15 years of the challenge and creating a program of writing that builds your confidence and your practice as a writer.

StoryADay is so much more than writing prompts: it’s community and pep talks and YOU, pushing yourself to write more than you thought you could, and CELEBRATING together, every day. Stay tuned for all the warm-ups between now and May 1!

But first, help me help you get back to You, WRITER.

Answer these two questions

Thanks so much. I can’t wait to hang out with you more, in the run-up to and during StoryADay May!

Keep writing,

Julie

Hi, I'm Julie Duffy, founder & director of StoryADay. Every year since 2010 I've challenged writers like you to prove to themselves that they can write more (and better) than they think, during the StoryADay May challenge. During the rest of the year, StoryADay supports you with the StoryAWeek newsletter (writing lessons & prompts), a popular podcast, blog posts, mini-challenges, courses, and a members' community. StoryADay May has become a fixture on the writing calendar, and the lively community is one of Writer's Digest's 101 Best Websites for Writers. Join me for info, workshops, challenges & courses, and of course, the StoryAWeek newsletter.
