No more “I should pitch more…”
No more inspiration-driven chaos.
Just a system that gets you paid & published.

This workshop gives you:
- A one-page snapshot of your entire writing and pitching year

Because writers don’t need more inspiration.
You need a system.

Your Entire 2026 Writing Year—Mapped Out on ONE Document
so you always know what's next
- Publication targets
- Pitch themes
- Quarterly goals
- Idea categories
- Anchor dates
- Personal writing commitments
- A plan for momentum (not burnout)
A Quarterly Pitch Pipeline That Keeps You Moving
so you're behind
You’ll create a simple repeating system:
- Evergreen ideas
- 2 timely ideas by the month
- Multiple personal story angles to use
- At least 1 stretch publication you’re going after
Your Story Bank: A Repeatable Idea-Generation Framework so you can pitch in minutes
You’ll learn how to turn:
- life experiences
- frustrations
- faith insights
- conversations
- cultural moments
…into publishable ideas editors want.
Consistency Plan: A Rhythm You Can Keep so overwhelm is never an excuse
You’ll choose:
- Your weekly writing habit
- Your weekly pitching block
- A “minimum baseline” consistency plan
- Monthly progress check-ins
- A quarterly reset rhythm
This is how writers become prolific.
✍️ This is for you if…
✔ You want to pitch consistently but never know where to start
✔ You have ideas… but struggle to organize or execute them
✔ You want to break into bigger outlets (NYT, WSJ, USA Today, etc.)
✔ You get overwhelmed by deadlines or feel “all over the place”
✔ You’ve been meaning to pitch more, write more, or publish more
✔ You want a writing year that feels intentional—not accidental
✔ You want a simple system you can SEE on your wall and follow every week
If you’re tired of winging it, this is how you make 2026 your best writing year yet.
