What are the differences between the 5-Day Challenge and 45-Day Program, and which one should I register for?
These valuable writing programs help nonfiction authors at different stages of their writing journeys.

The 5-Day Challenge is a quick sprint for aspiring nonfiction authors just getting started. You'll brainstorm, get organized, and even draft part of a chapter! Perfect for a kick-start!

The 45-Day Program is a marathon for writers ready to commit. Build habits and crush procrastination with daily, intentional focus. Create your writing rhythm to craft your preliminary table of contents, your preface, and the basis for a few chapters. What are you waiting for?

Take one or do both in succession—many authors start with the challenge and continue with the program to stay on track. Ready to move your book forward? 🚀

We all have a story to tell—our unique experiences, triumphs, heartaches, and the incredible journey that shapes who we are. Sharing these experiences in an autobiography, a memoir, or even as part of a more traditional nonfiction genre inspires others and provides a meaningful connection to readers.
Writing a book gives us the chance to describe invaluable lessons that can guide others.
And it’s fun!

The holiday apostrophe shows itself every year in family names on holiday cards. Somehow, the Smith family are the "Smith's" - NOPE!
You're simply making the name plural, not possessive, or making a contraction. It's as simple as making any other plural spelling.
Let’s be greeting card savvy!
Rules to follow:
Most family names, you simply add an -s
Examples: The Johnsons or The Millers
If a last name ends in s, ch, sh, x or z, you add an -es
Examples: The Bushes or The Schwartzes
Or, if you're just not sure: Go with, "The Smith Family."

Interrobang‽ Maybe you've never seen the actual punctuation mark, but I’m sure you've written a question you wanted to scream in exclamation.
The Interrobang is a combined question mark and exclamation mark. Interro- is short for interrogative (asking a question), but there is some question about the suffix: -bang. It may be a reference to the term used for exclamation mark used by typesetters and printers from many years ago.
We can use !? or ?! in informal writing.
