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!

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!
