As we enter the hot days of summertime, we just want to touch base! Whether you’re writing by the pool, between wrangling kids home from summer break, or it’s business as usual, we hope you’re finding some time in these extra daylight hours to appreciate your art and work on the books you love.
Both Beth and Cristin have books out next month—and they’re both hard at work on the next books after that! Cristin’s The Stars Between Us is coming out August 2, and Beth’s The Princess and the Scoundrel is coming out August 16. Get your spacey romances now!
It’s an odd thing to always be a step ahead of what’s publically known, to work on projects without really telling anyone, for a variety of reasons. The odd think about publishing is how it can be both very public with books out in the world, and very private with books not yet seen by anyone else.
One thing that has remained the same is the need for new eyes on a project. Critique partners, beta reads, and workshopping always help improve a story as you check on whether or not the story you meant to write is the one that ended up on the page. You can check out our critique services here, if you’d like am extra pair of eyes on your project
Additionally, July’s Word Lab is gearing up for a productive month of lots of words! Don’t forget that you can always opt for one day of the two per week (click on the “Read More” section for details). Word Lab remains a fun and supportive environment where we are focused and maintain that focus for a steady stream of words!
Beth will be speaking at WriteOnCon this year, a virtual writing conference that features text posts, live panels, recorded videos, and more from publishing professionals across the board.

Whatever you’re working on this summer, we hope it brings you joy!
