On 1 December 2021, the third volume 52 Weeks of Writing Author Journal and Planner will be published. I am now inviting writers to join my ARC team to test this new edition before it comes out.

What is an ARC team?

An ARC team is a group of readers who receive an Advanced Reader Copy before a book is published.

I send out ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) for the following reasons:

1) to find out whether my work resonates with the audience I have in mind, and

2) to receive suggestions on how to improve the material.

Some ARC members also do the following, but only if they feel like it:

3) catch any lingering errors,

4) leave reviews where they can, and

5) promote the book where they can.

How do I know whether I’m the right fit for your ARC team?

The only way to know that for sure is by giving it a go.

I’m looking for writers – both experienced and inexperienced – to test 52 Weeks of Writing and provide me with feedback, whatever that feedback is.

If, at some point, you realise joining my ARC team has been a mistake, just send me an email to let me know.

What if I’ve never given anyone feedback before?

Then let this be your first time!

I don’t care about your level of experience, I care about whether you’re a writer who wants to dive into and test my upcoming journal and planner over the next couple of weeks and share your experiences with.

I have worked with previous versions of 52 Weeks of Writing. Can I still join?

Yes, please!

52 Weeks of Writing Vol. III comes with a few small updates and I would love to know how you, with your experience of the previous volumes, feel about the changes I’ve made.

How can I sign up?

By sending me an email at marielle@mswordsmith.nl.

Until when can I sign up?

You can sign up until 8 October 2021.

When would you need my feedback?

I would need to receive any comments and suggestions by 7 November.

Any other questions?

Drop me a line at marielle@mswordsmith.nl and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Looking forward to welcoming you into the team!

Good Friday, everyone! Can you believe it’s April already? Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the first NaNoWriMo of the year already?! I swear, the older I get, the faster time runs by. Anyway, let me introduce you to Jannie Mitzeiko Harvey, who is so generous to share with us something no writer can do without…

Flexible like a bamboo, adaptable like water, and always in pursuit of quality work and innate personal happiness—these are among a few things that describe Jannie. With the mantra of ‘Time can never be turned back’, combined with her passion for reading and writing, she supports overwhelmed authors with their administrative and marketing tasks so they can focus on what authors love to do: write!

During her spare time, she plans on her next travel, fangirls over her favourite Japanese idol group, Arashi, and saves money for her cat sanctuary. Check out her website here, or follow her on Facebook.

Project Development Planner for Writers

Hi Jannie! What is it that you’ve got in store for us?

Hi! I’ve recently created the Project Development Planner for Writers. It’s a planner specifically designed for the writer. I offer it for free, which is my way of giving back to the community.

And the community loves all things free! How is the Project Development Planner for Writers different from any regular planner?
