Thanks for sharing this info, Katie! I love that there are different tiers. Beginner, intermediate and ready-to-submit writers have different options, which is great! Is there something like this for writers for the middle reader audience? I don’t think I can crank out 12 books in a year! LOL!
Katie
Well, I think a 12×12 for other genres would be GREAT! I’ll mention it to Julie Hedlund! Thanks for the idea Kristin! 😎
Kristin
Yeah! Because doing a draft each month would be like doing NaNoWriMo every month. I mean, that’s possible, but… You guys are pros so maybe you can come up with some other structure that will work for other genres. Being able to be in a virtual group of other supportive writers that write to the same audience has some awesome potential!

I’d think it’d be more like a chapter per month, right?
Kristin
Ohhh! Like that train of thought! But, maybe a chapter a week? It’s easy/fun for me to write and write (and I’m fast), but then the real work begins (edits). So it would be great if the editing motivation could be worked into the program some how.
