Shameless Self-Promotion: ‘The Writer’s Year’

You may have noticed those ‘Writer’s Desk‘ posts which have been appearing on this site for a few years now. Or not (lot of content out there).

In any case, a little while back I thought it made sense to try and put some of these ideas to paper. Since I’ve been doing some writing for Workman Publishing, innovators of and home to Page-A-Day calendars, I pitched them a concept for a writing inspiration calendar. They liked it and now here we are, with The Writer’s Year: 365 Days of Inspiration, Prompts, and Quotes for 2025 available for pre-order. It comes with:

  • Illuminating quotes from the greats (James Baldwin, Susan Sontag, Ray Bradbury)
  • Prompts to start your story
  • Recommended reading lists
  • Handy tips on everything from cliches (easy but bad) to rewriting (annoying but good)

The Writer’s Year publishes in August. If you place your pre-order now through May 3 and use the discount code (NEWCAL25) you can get 20% off.
