I started something last year that officially goes to market today! The Rough Drafts by AMAZE is where I take you with me on my writing and reading process. If you love those things along with being an organised and productivity junkie like myself, you’re going to enjoy the upcoming projects for 2024!
In collaboration with Ruth Writes Co, AMAZE is starting it’s first 2024 Reading Challenge, “The Readers’ Renaissance” and we are taking back reading in 2024! Here’s the article…
Hello AMAZing readers, and cheers to a new chapter in our reading journey! In the spirit of embracing the diverse facets of literature, Ruth Writes Co X AMAZE proudly presents the “Literary Quest” for 2024!
This reading challenge is a celebration of a diverse palette of book prompts, carefully curated to fuel your imagination and expand your literary horizons. With 24 thought-provoking prompts and exciting bonus challenges, the challenge this year is designed to immerse you in a rich tapestry of genres and themes, that you usually avoid.
The intention behind this is to really help stir the desire in people who used to read a lot when they were younger, those in a reading slump and those stuck in 2019 thinking all they have to read are self-help books.
Visit our SHOP to download your FREE checklist, explore the prompts, and kick off your reading for 2024 ASAP Rocky. Happy reading!
