Brought to you by…
There ARE ways to write in the face of life’s inevitable obstacles!
Maybe right now you…
✔️ have a day job
✔️ have caregiving duties
✔️ have ADHD
✔️ have a chronic health issue
✔️ are facing writer’s block
Writing books takes a whole lot more than just sitting down typing up your brilliant idea in one caffeine-fueled weekend.
You’re getting a lot of things right: honing your ideas, reading widely, studying your craft.
But life always seems to get in the way. Even your own brain gets in the way.
Sabotages to your writing (and audience building) seem to pop up EVERYWHERE.
You dream of finding a way to write and market your book that’s doable with your hectic schedule, and actually works.
How would it feel to….
Have a consistent writing practice that helps you produce books you're proud of?
Overcome your fears of putting yourself out there?
Be able to coach yourself through any challenge you face to protect your writing time?
The Write Anyway Summit will give you tools to do this and more…
During the Write Anyway Summit you’ll learn how to overcome common obstacles to your writing — both external and internal.
Join us for the Write Anyway Summit to learn from top writers, editors, agents and other experts about how to keep writing and reach the potential you KNOW you have.

Writing With ADHD: The Tools, Not Rules, Approach
As you can see from these amazing inspiration-packed presentations, this is an event you do not want to miss. Click below to grab your free ticket and join us for the Write Anyway Summit!
Funny thing, your writer's brain is both your biggest asset and your biggest liability.
It’s the source of all your talent, and simultaneously responsible for holding you back.
We’ll give you tools to work with your brain to produce the results you know you’re capable of.
If you’re like most writers, you’ve studied your craft, but you can’t get yourself to actually DO THE THING. Or you’re blaming external life events (family, day job, politics) for not hitting your word count?
Good news! You’re not alone AND there’s a way to coach yourself back to your keyboard and start producing the work you know you’re capable of.
The Write Anyway Summit was specifically created for writers like you. Because the world needs your voice.
Spend 4 days busting through every excuse to getting your book written and your audience built.
You’ve studied and read until you’re cross eyed. You know what to do, sit down and write, but you can’t make yourself do it. This summit will give you tools to tackle your mindset and keep writing in the face of life’s hiccups.
What to Expect at the Write Anyway Summit
When and Where
The Write Anyway Summit will run from October 16-19, with a variety of presentations to choose from each day. This event is entirely virtual, so you’ll be able to attend from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Expert Sessions
Attend presentations from our lineup of 30+ speakers with trainings on the biggest obstacles facing writers today such as day jobs, caregiving, neurodivergence, anxiety and plain old fear. Your free ticket includes 24-hour access to each presentation during the week of the summit.

You’ll also have access to our private community of writers and authors like you who are already hanging out and working on writing their books and building their audiences. This is where you’ll be able to connect with the speakers and other attendees before and during the event.
Chances to Win
You’ll also have a chance to win prizes by showing up and participating throughout the summit. Be sure to keep an eye out for your BINGO card and come hang out with us in the community for chances to win prizes including books and courses on writing and marketing.

Meet Your Hosts
Hi, I’m Sue Campbell! Cofounder of Pages & Platforms.
I’ve helped hundreds of writers, from newbies to bestsellers, transform their inhibitive mindset around writing and marketing and realize their full potential as authors. My clients have exponentially increased their email lists and book sales, landed articles in prestigious publications, been guests on popular podcasts and more.
And because I know mindset is the biggest obstacle writers face, I’m also a certified life coach through the Life Coach School.
Grab your ticket and join me and other top writers and coaches for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you keep your ass in the chair for as long as you can draw breath.
I can’t wait to see you there!

“A warm welcoming community of talented writers. Three committed mentors / teachers / guides who go the extra extra mile to help you with any story or marketing question you might have. A depth of knowledge around story and marketing you won’t find elsewhere. After 16 years of studying story and joining writing groups this one of the Very Best I’ve found. Come on in, the water is lovely!”
“Like an MFA program without the egos and expense.”
“It’s been your approach, energy and commitment that have really amazed me. This one-two-three combo of marketing, mindset and productivity is a tremendously potent mix.”
“As authors, we often doubt ourselves, but Sue challenges us to believe the world needs our books. That’s why we write them: because we have stories to tell that can provoke, entertain, instruct, heal . . . But they can’t do anything at all if we don’t get them out there! ”
“At Pages & Platforms, I found tons of amazing content, a supportive community, and professional coaches that are available, responsive, and INTERESTED in your work in progress. I finally have a writerly home!”
“Sue isn’t just a coach, she’s a creative and knowledgeable book marketing expert who guides you to grow your author presence while empowering you through any mindset roadblocks that arise.”
Kick your excuses to the curb.
It’s time to stop procrastinating and finally make your writing a top priority.

Have questions? We’ve got answers.
What will I learn at the Write Anyway Summit?
The Write Anyway Summit is all about helping writers overcome any obstacles—internal and external—to building the writing life of their dreams. There are lots of writing summits and conferences out there, but this one will give you mindset tools you never had available before to blast through Resistance and stay committed to your writing.
We’ll cover common obstacles to writing including: day jobs, health challenges, caregiving, neurodivergence, anxiety, fear and perfectionism.
How do I know whether this summit is right for me?
If you’re a writer who has struggled to actually sit down and write or show up in the world to market your books,, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically talking to writers and authors and focusing on helping them overcome any and all obstacles to their writing.
When is this thing happening?
The summit runs from October 16-19. You’ll also be able to join our private community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!
What if I’m not able to attend live?
While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for 24 hours with your free ticket. All-Access Pass holders will be able to attend the live presentations; recordings will be made available to everyone. We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are committed to prioritizing their creative work.
However, if you’re not able to catch all of the sessions while they are live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the ALL-ACCESS PASS for extended access.
How long will I have access to the presentations?
Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the ALL-ACCESS PASS after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
Are the presentations live?
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, most of the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, many speakers will be hanging out in our private Circle group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! For All-Access Pass holders, there will be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
Will all the speakers get my email address?
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Pages & Platforms email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to email lists that you're not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Are your videos captioned or transcribed?
Yes. All presentations have closed captioning, and notes are also available for each presentation with our upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.
Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.
I still have questions!
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Write Anyway community (hosted on Circle), which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at info@pagesandplatforms.com.
