If you've ever felt overwhelmed by where to start with your story, stuck in an endless cycle of planning without progress, unsure if your writing is good enough, or like you can't find the time to write between life's demands, then I have a brand new resource that was made just for you.

It's called Write Your Book in 2025, and it's a limited episode podcast series where I share the exact strategies that have helped hundreds of writers

move from dreaming about writing to actually finishing their novels. It's totally free and you can get

access by going to savannah gilbo.com forward slash write your book 2025 all one word. So one more time,

that's savannah gilbo.com forward slash write your book 2025 to get access to my brand new
