Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be an experienced writer? I’ve never written anything before.

No, absolutely not! The Free Five-Day Writing Challenge is ideal for writers of every experience level—or none at all. Our motto is The only way to do it wrong is to not do it at all. So, join us and just start writing!

Does the challenge include any writing coaching?

Every participant has the opportunity to qualify as a Rock Star Writer and win a ticket to a live, group coaching experience with Patricia after the challenge. Rock Star Writers may submit 750-1,000 words maximum for a chance to receive a live review of your story. Three submissions will be chosen at random for review during the coaching call.

How do you win this fantastic bonus? Post something you’ve written on the challenge page and engage with your fellow members by Saturday, January 21, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. We’ll notify all qualified participants within twenty-four (24) hours and provide an access ticket to the group coaching experience.
