The $20K Pitch That Changed Everything for This Suburban Mom


Hi Reader,

Time for real honesty here. I'm going to be vulnerable, so buckle up!

I used to think amazing success stories only happened to other writers.

That big clients were reserved for the lucky ones.
For all the tech bros online who keep flexing.
That I was too “suburban mom,” too invisible, too… ordinary.

These things don't happen to me.

Not in the cards for me (or whatever limiting beliefs I used to tell myself).

Until I sent one DM.

Yes, one single DM.

And suddenly everything changed:

A $20K client
A dream project
Proof that your words can open doors

No fancy formulas.
No big audience.
Just one clear, heartfelt pitch.

And because it’s the holidays and I’m feeling generous and grateful, I’m giving away that exact pitch for free.​

​The same one that landed me $20K.​

Happy holidays,

Edges of the Mind: Treating Schizophrenia as Psychiatry Evolves by Dr. David Pickar is out now. Dr. Pickar spent decades at the front lines of schizophrenia research and treatment, and this book is his account of...

Hi Reader, Time for my weekly update, and it starts with something I've been sitting on for months. My Bethesda Magazine "Women Who Inspire" feature is out. I spent part of the summer interviewing three of this year's honorees —women working in journalism, the arts, and education— and those were the conversations that reminded me why I got into this in the first place. Go read them. They're better than anything I'd put in a newsletter. Meanwhile, on the production side: one of my client books...

Hi Reader, I was in my late thirties when I decided I was going to write a novel. Then I had two children under ten, a full-time job, and a house that never stopped needing something. I started, then stopped. Then I kept telling myself I'd finish when things calmed down. Things did not calm down. That is not what things do. In fact, they became more chaotic when I had a third child. And finally, it worked, and I finished my debut novel, They Called Me Wyatt, which wasn't a burst of...
