BMC Memberships

As a monthly member, you have access to personal insights, extra information, behind-the-scenes videos, early access and beta reading of upcoming books, and more.

This is more generalized across all forms of writing such as freelancing, blogging, or self-publishing.

Substack Newsletter

The newsletter is a weekly breakdown of the creative writing process, insights into character and plot development, and my experiences with self-publishing.

It’s currently free, but I’m debating on adding a paid subscription for highly detailed elements about writing. This might include things like why I created certain characters or developing my plots.
