Introducing Just Keep Writing - A new writing space for all writers
Imagine a distraction-free sanctuary where you consistently finish more writing in a month than you have in the past few months—without the pressure, burnout, or social media noise. I'm super excited to share something new with you today that Dan and I have been working on behind the scenes for months. Introducing Just Keep Writing, a $9/month membership focused on one key thing (the most important thing): helping you actually write and finish your books. After years of working with authors at all stages, I've noticed one common challenge: finding the motivation, accountability, and distraction-free environment to simply get words on the page. That's why I've stripped away all the extra stuff and created a space that's focused on the foundation of your author career: writing. We wanted to give you a space that meets you where you’re at and gives you what you need in order to keep moving forward on your writing journey. You may be an author writing their first book or an author who’s published 20 books, but your writing obstacle can be exactly the same, even though you may all have different reasons for feeling that this struggle of getting words written and a book finished is too real. The Just Keep Writing Community isn’t anything fancy or flashy, we’re not making grandiose promises about money, marketing or advertising. (I know, I know, we all want it to be easy, but sorry, we're not even promising that🙁 ) Instead, what we’re offering is a place that you can show up to, and that will show up for you. In short, we’re offering you a supported place to focus on your writing. A place where we’re not telling you that you have to go faster, do more, be better in order to be “successful” all while burning out. Instead, we’ve created a space that celebrates the words on the page, the editing milestones, and that simply celebrates you showing up for yourself to write. If that sounds like a place you might need, let me share a bit more info. What's included in Just Keep Writing:
All of this for just $9/month. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime. Who is Just Keep Writing for?
If you're ready to stop thinking about writing and actually do it, Just Keep Writing is for you.
Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing more about specific aspects of the membership. But if you're already thinking "this is exactly what I need," you can join now and start writing with us right away! In the meantime, just keep writing ;) ~AJ P.S. I know how hard it can be to find your writing groove, especially with everything else going on in the world. That's why I created this space, so you always have somewhere to go when you're ready to write. I hope to see you there! |

Don’t want to get any more emails in the next few weeks about the Just Keep Writing membership? Click here and we’ll keep you off this round of emails. You’ll still get regular updates from me, just not about the membership. Hey Reader, Let’s talk about something that matters deeply to me—and to the Just Keep Writing community: Inclusion. Not in the “corporate checklist” kind of way. Not as a buzzword. But as an intentional, ongoing commitment to making this space feel safer, more welcoming,...
This week I'm asking how you like to learn new information. You can select all that apply (this poll also includes a bonus question if you're interested in answering a follow-up).
Hey Reader, Let’s talk about what one of my clients described as that "icky feeling"—the one that creeps in when you’re about to send a newsletter, schedule a promo, or talk about your book online… and then your brain chimes in: “Is this really the time? Should I be selling anything right now? Doesn’t this feel gross?” I’ve been hearing that a lot lately. And I get it. The world feels like is a dumpster fire some days—and in the middle of all that, marketing your book might feel...
