The Midnight Quill Podcast

26/01/2022

We celebrate 1 year of The Midnight Quill Podcast on February 22nd! We've put together a special pack for writers, available for a limited time only! This special offer will be available to new Patrons signing up from tomorrow until 25th Feb, and you, our wonderful existing Patrons, will also receive the writing pack as a special thank you for your support.
We couldn't make the podcast without you, so thank you.

You can read more details or sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/midnightquillpodcast?fan_landing=true

The writing pack is geared towards helping you to finish your WIPs and head towards self-publishing if that's your aim! The exact contents of the writing pack will be a surprise, but here's a rough idea of what it is will include:
- Writer's 'cheat sheets' for your desk or writing space
- Writing prompts
- Motivation and scheduling help
- Exclusive content from the podcast hosts

*Disclaimer - you will ONLY receive this pack if you provide your postal address. If we don't have your address, you will receive an email from Patreon asking for it and we'd really love it if you could provide it so your lovely goodies can reach you!
**The writing pack will not be ring-bound, that was just the most appropriate image ;)
