Peace be upon you all! On the Strange Inc show, we talked about the importance of planning your book and bringing the seed of your idea to fruition. As we enter the month of Shawwal, our theme is endurance, and what better way to endure the process of writing a book than through planning? We also discussed the book awards that are currently taking place. If you're a writer, be sure to check them out and submit your work! Remember, we're in this together as a community of writers, so let's support each other. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, let's work together to bring your book to life. We're offering a free 15-minute consultation to help you get started. Just book your session with us! Also, don't forget to join The Woke Writer group for weekly writing prompts and inspiration.
