I'm excited to make this video and share it with you. We had so much fun with this part at the Capitol Crimes workshop last Saturday.
Have ideas for other video topics you'd like to see as future stretch rewards? Let me know in the comments. Here are some possibilities. I'd love to hear which you'd be most excited to see.
- Using Visual Tarot Interpretation to Deepen Your Characters Video Lesson
- Using Traditional Card Meanings to Build Your Characters and Plot Video Lesson
- Sample Characters Prompt Walk-through Video Lesson
- Sample Plot Prompt Walk-through Video Lesson
- Sample Get Unstuck Prompt Walk-through Video Lesson
Want to See a Tarot for Fiction Writers Workshop at the Author Nation Conference? Let the Organizers Know!
I'll be attending the Author Nation Conference in Las Vegas this November 11-15 and would love to meet up with any of you who will also be there.
If you plan to attend and would like to see me do a Tarot for Fiction Writers workshop at the conference, please submit a speaker suggestion. The organizers are in the process of choosing a speaker slate now. The more interest there is, the more likely the organizers are to make that happen.

Hey all,
We've got our first stretch reward posted! If we hit $5,000, that will unlock Using Tarot in Your Creative Process: Getting Started with the Cards video lesson for backers at ALL levels. This video lesson will be a great companion to the info in the book and give you an example of what the process looks like in action.
If you know other writers who might be interested in learning about using tarot in their creative process, please share.
Take care,
Jessica

Hi everyone,
Thank you for an amazing first week of the Kickstarter campaign. Also, thanks to all of you who came to the Capitol Crimes Tarot for Fiction Writers Workshop this Saturday. It was a blast, and I hope you found it helpful.
If you missed out on this one, don't worry; there will be more opportunities for workshops like this in the future. I will be doing more workshops like this in the future and can give you a heads up through backer updates here even after the campaign has ended.
Some of you asked to see examples of what the spreads will look like inside the Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writers book.
Here are some examples of the layouts:
Paperback Version
The paperback will have the layouts in black and white like this.
Printable PDF Version
The digital version will have full-color spreads like these.
Here's a larger version, so you can see more detail.
**The designs won't be finalized until sometime next week, so they may change slightly.
What do you think?
Take care,
Jessica
P.S. If you've ever daydreamed about your books being turned into movies, make sure to read on for a really cool project by someone who is doing just that.
Cool Projects on Kickstarter this Week
I know most of writers have fantasized about seeing our characters come to life on the big screen. In this project, author Beth Barany and her team of San Francisco Bay area filmmakers will be doing just that for her story, Henrietta the Dragon Slayer.
If you like...
- Fantasy action films, games, and TV shows like: Xena Warrior Princess; Lord of the Rings; Lara Croft; Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice; Wonder Woman...
- Stories of friendship like: The New Legends of Monkey; Harry Potter...
- Magic and powers and quests and where the girls save themselves like: Legend of Korra; Tangled; Brave; Shrek; Wonder Woman; Damsel...
Then this story may be right up your alley!
