Welcome to new paid members
- welcome! Marian’s newsletter, , shares her masterful historical fiction writing, which includes her serialised novel Empress and Soldier alongside her reimagined version of the epic Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf. The latest instalment of Empress and Soldier, chapter 8 (part 1) can be found HERE, and her most recent Beowulf excerpt is linked HERE.Paid membership starts from just under £7 per month, and gives you access to community, support, and visibility. Each month, we’ll connect as a small group of readers and writers through Q&As and chats, where we support each other in our current projects and queries. This month, we’re thinking about building a community of writers on Substack. You’ll have the option to start your own chat threads, plus exclusive access to the monthly members’ roundup, where your writing is shared with a global readership.
Ready to take the next step in your writing and invest in 1:1 coaching? Join the writer coaching programme to unlock a 60-minute coaching session, year-long email follow up, and access to DMs. There are only four spots left in this current intake, though I plan to open back up in Spring 2025.
