A Note From Julie Duffy...
Â
I started the StoryADay May challenge in 2010 out of frustration...I wanted to be writing but couldn't make myself do it alone.
Over the years, I've seen writers make a great start on new projects -- the challenge, a novel, a memoir -- only to get derailed by other people's needs, their own doubts, and lack of skills that they mistake for a lack of ability.
But I've also seen people blossom, grow beyond their own expectations, and fully embrace the identity and practice of 'writer'.
The difference?
Having a community to support them: coaching, accountability, prompts, and deadlinesÂ
Like you, I struggled to build a writing habit alone. That’s why I created StoryADay Superstars in 2018 — so you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
When we write together, we succeed together. And I can’t wait to celebrate your wins with you.
Keep writing,
"I've had several stories published"

JOIN SUPERSTARSHere's How Your Next Six Months Could Look
-
May: Write—Show up daily, write more than you thought possible, and lean into the challenge with support all around you.
-
June: Refine—Choose a story from May and revise it with intention. Participate in Critique Week to get thoughtful, constructive feedback.
-
July: Improve—Strengthen your craft with focused workshops on scene-building, character, pacing, and dialogue.
-
August: Triumph—Polish a piece and get it ready to share. Learn what success looks like for you, and celebrate your growth.
-
September: Engage—Make your writing more engaging, and reconnect with readers, fellow writers, and your creative purpose.
-
October: Imagine—Reconnect with your vision and voice. Participate in a second Critique Week to reinforce that you are a writer who writes and is building the courage to share their work.Â
I created Superstars after seeing what worked during the StoryADay Challenge:
-
Writers who engaged and showed up daily? They finished strong.
-
Writers who kept writing after May? They polished and published.
-
Writers who tried to go it alone? Too often, they floundered.
Superstars has been helping writers stay focused, finish their work, and live more confidently as writers since 2018.
If you’re ready to turn your May breakthrough into a writing life you love — I’d love to welcome you into Superstars.
You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s keep writing — together.

Is Superstars right
for me?
Perfect if you:
- Long to make writing part of your life, for good
- Have a project that calls to you
- Are tired of starting and stopping
- Intrigued by our 'community of introverts'
- Have a sense of humor
- Are little bit terrified at the idea of joining

Not for you if you are:
- Competitive rather than collegial
- In a rush to be famous
- Unwilling to write regularly
- Unable to ask for help or accept support
- Always right
- More serious about yourself than your practice
- Looking for external validation, not the satisfaction that comes from doing the work

Marta Pelrine-Bacon
I'd had some stories published, but I felt really on my own in the writing life.
Now I have a community who understands my writing and my goals. I have a place to celebrate wins and to sympathize with the confusion and frustration of trying to create the writing life I want.
Neha Mediratta
I was stuck in the morass of guilt and self-doubt because I was not able to finish longer pieces of fiction writing. Now I finish most pieces!
Writing a story a day has been very good practice to develop a positive orientation to writing endeavors, not to mention that it has led me to meet new people, be part of a community and find my writing feet again.
Anita G. Gorman
I was already writing and getting published.
I decided to try the Superstars to see if I could remain motivated and productive during the other ten months of the year!
I am more motivated to write and send out stories. I recently submitted a short-story collection--finally! I am also more motivated to revise novels that I have written. I also now have a website.
Robin Stein
Joining Superstars five months ago changed my writing life. I wake up in the morning excited. Not only am I writing more, I am writing with mindfulness and new skills I've learned at Superstars. Now I proudly tell people I am a WRITER.

Investing in Superstars means investing in your writing life.
Imagine where you could be in six months — writing more, finishing projects, and feeling confident in your creative journey.
Whichever path you choose, Superstars will keep you motivated, inspired, and writing.
C. H. Schoen
Before I found StoryADay I was not confident in what I was writing and I was not consistent.
It has been absolutely amazing to be part of the Superstars group and to have fellow writers at all different levels to talk to.
It has truly changed my life.
C. McCane
My writing life is more intentional now. I’ve begun to focus less on the faults in my writing and more on the purpose of my prose.
This has helped me jump from dreaming to writing with a plan.
Right now, there’s a lot of external forces that can dampen creativity. Joining Superstars is an engaging way to find motivation and camaraderie with fellow writers. I’ve been working mostly on flash fiction and blogging this summer, so you don’t need to be writing the next American novel to benefit from signing up.
