Here's the link to download the recording for our live monthly group call we had today:
We covered: Editing Your Novel: Voice, POV, Word Choice, Setting, Character, Plot
We focused on Editing Your Novel with an eye on:
- Voice
- Point of View (POV)
- Word Choice
- Setting
- Character
- Plot
- The Consciousness Sandwich
- What is a Scene
- What to cut/what to keep
- What questions to ask
- What is editing
- Why is editing important
I also touched on your Marketing Voice and choices that relate to marketing and editing.
We also heard your questions, concerns and feelings about editing. It's so important to acknowledge and bring to the surface what you think and feel about editing, so you can decide what you would like for this experience.
Take a listen and post any questions, concerns, requests for clarification, and ahas in our Facebook group:

New Benefit of Being in the Group Coaching Program
Marketing is such an essential part of becoming a novelist. But it's often scary, unknown, and confusing. I want to support you in becoming friends with all of the marketing aspects of being a novelist:
- How to market your books (including the promotions, publicity)
- How to brand you, the author, and why this is necessary
- How to build a reader and fan base
- How to make connections with the people that matter in your career: potential readers, reviewers, and supporters
- How to integrate author and book marketing into your life
I wanted to be sure we covered this topic in depth, so I will be teaching on marketing in an additional dedicated monthly call, starting June. Stay tuned for details! And be sure to share your wish list of topics with me, by posting them in the Facebook group or hitting reply to this email.
Thanks!
Beth & Ezra
