The First Novel Fellowship will be an online peer support and accountability community for people who want to draft their first novel in one year. Frodo didn't go to Mordor alone. And you shouldn't make your novel-writing journey alone either.

Pop in your name and email address to stay in the loop as the community develops and you'll hear the moment doors open (no commitment). In the newsletters, you'll get writing tips and learn a little more about me and the Fellowship — so you can decide whether to join, when the time is right for you.

But first things first. Embracing the glory of a crappy first draft is the first step toward getting your novel done. Even though it's messy, love it just because it exists. Kind of like your kids.

When you sign up, you'll get an exclusive Writer’s Oath printable mini-poster to sign (“I hereby solemnly promise to embrace my crappy first draft”).
 

Pin the poster (hand-drawn by artist, Catalina Dudka) in your writing space, as your daily reminder not to let imperfection stall your progress towards finishing your novel.
