Writing opportunities from Julie Cantrell

THREE big opportunities for YOU to write, publish, and create in 2026.

——————-
LAST CALL FOR WOMEN’S WRITING RETREAT IN FRANCE

——————–

ONLY 2 spots left! Here’s your last chance to join fellow NYT bestselling author Sadeqa Johnson and me for a week of writing, relaxing, and exploring in beautiful Arcachon, France.

If you’ve been needing an exhale in a peaceful, waterfront setting, surrounded by kindhearted, creative women, with professional guidance to get YOUR story on the page, then now’s the time!

Who says we can’t all run away to France and write a book? LIFE IS SHORT. “Just do it!”

Grab a friend and scoop up these last two spots before they’re gone.

Apply HERE to join us at FOREWORD RETREATS where we’ll be CULTIVATING CREATIVITY!

LAST CALL TO WRITE YOUR DEBUT NOVEL: Two New York Times Bestselling Authors to Teach Year-Long Debut Writing Class with FOUR NYT Bestselling Guest Instructors

——————-

If you’re looking for more than a week’s guidance from Sadeqa and me, then join us throughout the entire year for our online course WRITE YOUR DEBUT NOVEL.

Are you a woman over the age of 40?

Are you serious about writing your first novel AND finishing it?

Then you’ll want to take advantage of a rare opportunity at Story Summit starting this month.

Sadeqa and I will be teaching a year-long debut writing class designed to guide writers from idea generation through a complete, finished manuscript.

Write Your Debut Novel isn’t a weekend workshop or a quick seminar. It’s a sustained, craft-driven experience built around time, accountability, mentorship, and community.

For those curious about how we approach craft, process, and mentorship, CLICK HERE (or below) to watch our recent Q&A.

If you’re looking to begin, continue, or finally complete your debut novel, this is the kind of invitation that doesn’t come along often.

And if you’ve been wondering whether you’ve missed your moment, consider this a gentle reminder: It’s never too late.

Just ask Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry, who published her debut at the age of 64.

Space is limited. Learn more and come WRITE YOUR DEBUT NOVEL with us at Story Summit.
