My daughters had fun decorating these! We created them for everyone, but now we often let guests decorate with their favorite toppings.

Paying it Forward

One of my favorite things about Angela and Becca is how much they do to help others. They’ve always had a pay-it-forward mentality, which is why this site is loaded with free tools, downloads, and resources. But helping beyond the writing community is something they believe in as well. Each year they select a specific charity (or two) and donate a portion of their book revenue to it. Since there’s so much economic uncertainty right now, they’re donating $500 to their food banks.

Here’s the 2023 Recipients

This is only possible through your generosity, so know when you buy books, subscribe to One Stop for Writers, or attend a workshop, you are an important link in the chain. Thank you for helping to make the world a better place!

Happy holidays!
