Michelle's Missive: Updates through August 30th, 2023
Hi, Reader,
Well, the response to last month's announcement was fantastic! Thanks so much for your support. I'm happy to confirm that I plan to have Self-Edit Like a Developmental Editor: The Workbook available by the end of the year. 💃🏼 The goal is to give you techniques to edit your fiction novel the way a developmental editor would without the cost. Interested? Click here or click the button below to get added to my list of people to notify when the workbook is available.
| Yes! I'm interested in the workbook! |
You'll be taken to a GIF and added to the list automatically.
On August 15th, Rascon Revisions celebrated eight years in business! To celebrate, I packed my calendar with deadlines. 😂 I'm sure I'll take some off near the holidays to make up for it and maybe get something fancy to support the business.
Truthfully, August has been a whirlwind of unexpected circumstances, but I am persevering, and everyone is healthy, so I'll take the wins where I can get them. I am not even close to ready for the upcoming swarm of US holidays, though. Here's to hoping September is much smoother!

Hi, Reader, July flew by, right? June was a blur. The WriteHive Annual Conference was fantastic. I'm so glad I participated.

I'm nervous. Mostly because I've never done anything like this before, so...
