Angela, Becca and I hope you’re having an amazing holiday season full of family, friends, good food and special memories. We are so grateful for your visits, kind words of support, and trust in us. We love serving the writing community through this blog, One Stop for Writers, books, and teaching.
We’re tucking Writers Helping Writers in for a well-earned rest until 2025. But we want to make sure you have plenty to read during our break…so we’ll leave you with delicious recipes to try and helpful posts to browse.

This came out amazing! Next time, I’ll make it with full candied cherries up top instead of the fruit mix.
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. For more information on this year’s recipient, see this blog post.
Here’s the 2024 Recipient
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!
