Yesterday at May's Book and Film Club, we celebrated Naz Pankey and her amazing work on Verticals, as well as the numerous other projects.
She's incredibly busy (which is always a great sign) and has just had a terrific year of creating. It was an absolute joy to get to speak with her.
Hope to see you next month!

You already have stories worth telling.
What most writers need is not more talent.
They need support, accountability, guidance, and a community that helps them keep going when self-doubt creeps in.
Thatâs exactly what Story Summit Membership was built for.
For a limited time, join now and save $400 on an annual membership.

So many writers wait for the perfect idea, the perfect mood, or the perfect moment to begin. But writing doesnât work that way. Inspiration often shows up after you start, not before.
One sentence leads to another. One idea opens the door to the next.
Turn on the faucet. Let the words flow. Your story is waiting for you to begin.
