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!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to remind everyone who signed up for the Capitol Crimes workshop that today's the day.
Details if you didn't see the last update or have recently backed:
Event: Tarot for Fiction Writers Workshop for Capitol Crimes, my local chapter of Sisters in Crime.
When: Saturday, March 16 from 1-3pm PST, on Zoom
It's free and guests are welcome, but you must register beforehand here: https://www.capitolcrimes.org/event-5607303
Although there will be a recording, it will only be available to members of Capitol Crimes. (You're welcome to join! It's a fantastic group for crime writers.) However, if you can't make it today, don't worry! There will be plenty of other opportunities in the future for more workshops.
Prompt Examples
Several of you asked to see some examples of what the prompts in the book will look like. I put together some graphics with a sampling each section.
In Tarot for Fiction Writers, they will be written out like this with spread diagrams only for the more complex prompts.
In Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writers, each prompt will have its own dedicated full or half page with instructions and illustrated spreads layouts for each.
I'll put them here and in the project Story page if you want to reference them there.
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you at the workshop today.
Take care,
Jessica

Hey everyone,
I got the final versions of the sticker art I commissioned from my designer, the fabulous illustrator Luna Designs, and wanted to share.
Aren't they gorgeous? I've also commissioned some line art illustrations from her, which will be included in both Tarot for Fiction Writers and Tarot Spreads for Fiction Writers. I'll share as I get them.
These are available in the add-ons section if you're interested in grabbing one for your planner or laptop or water bottle or where ever else you like to use stickers.
Take care,
Jessica
