Attention, fellow fiction writers: something special is in the works! Starting this coming January, we\u2019re launching the Thursday Night Book Club\u2014a dedicated space created exclusively for fiction writers who want to dive deep into story craft and elevate their writing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few months, we\u2019ll be building our community right here. When we launch in January, all of our book club discussions, craft breakdowns, and fiction reading lists will take place directly inside my email newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to be first in line when we reveal our very first fiction craft book? Drop your email address in the box below to get on the newsletter list! Have a question or a favorite craft book on story structure, character, or plot? Send me a direct message on Instagram @claireridgewood<\/a>\u2014I\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
