Carve out an hour midday this Thursday, O Writers of Fiction—Office Hours is calling. We’ll be joined by editing guru Beth Hill, author of The Magic of Fiction and the heroically encyclopedic craft archives at The Editor’s Blog.

Office Hours calls are exclusively for upgraded subscribers—and here's why you won't want to miss this session: It’s a full hour talking shop face-to-face with not one but two editors and your fellow writers. Since our group stays deliberately small, you'll get real time and attention for your individual questions. There’s no rushing through a queue or getting lost in a crowd of hundreds.

It might just be one of the internet's best-kept secret for anyone serious about their craft.

Beth and I will dig into writing and storytelling strategies that actually work, and I'll tackle whatever specific challenges you're wrestling with in your fiction. Whether you're stuck on character development, struggling with pacing, or wondering if your plot makes sense to anyone besides you, this is your chance to get guidance tailored to your manuscript.

The beauty of Office Hours? It's answers to your exact questions and exact project in real time. No generic advice or one-size-fits-all solutions—just honest, practical feedback that moves your story forward.

Mark your calendar for midday this Thursday, May 29. Your manuscript will thank you.

One-on-one coaching or a full developmental edit might not fit into your budget right now (though let’s talk about making it work—I’ve got options that might surprise you), but a monthly Writes of Fiction subscription runs less than buying a single writing craft book—and delivers fresh guidance all year long. That's what I call a smart investment in your storytelling future.
