I needed motivation and goals. Joining the 12 in 12 programme was the best thing I could have done. With the regular motivational emails, encouragement and advice I finished my book.  Without it, I would have kept procrastinating.

Left to my own devices I would flounder in my writing, but making the commitment to ’12 in 12′, has meant that I plant myself at my desk more often than not, knowing that I have the support of an astute teacher.

Thanks to the motivation of a monthly deadline and the encouragement of Amanda’s feedback I have already written 20,000 words and remain on target for 12 chapters by year’s end.

Aside from the obvious (getting feedback) the 12in12 programme has been most beneficial for my focus; it really helps to have monthly goals and I find I’m less distracted by day to day life. It also forces me to let someone read my work, which is something I would usually be too nervous to do.

Angie

Thanks for all your effort in helping me with the first draft. I think your program is great. I am not sure that I could have ever got the 12 chapters down without your support and it feels really good to finish!

“Amanda’s pithy, humorous and insightful style make her 12 on 12 series an absolute must for anyone trying to give birth to their first book”

“I really recommend the 12 in 12 mentoring programme with Amanda. With her guidance my writing is improving and her feedback gives me insight as to how the reader is interpreting the story. Not only that, but she raises the bar a little higher each time and it’s a challenge jumping it!”

“I had been working on my memoir for almost 20 years, going to writing classes and sharing my work with a group of other memoir writers. It wasn’t until joined Amanda’s programme that I finally completed the manuscript and, after a bit more editing, it was in the hands of the printers.”
