Hi Friend,
In this time of great and rapid change and stress, I want to offer you one of my free resources to walk you through step by step tools to plan your novel:

"8 Tips to Plan Your Novel So You Can Write With Confidence and Clarity"


It comes with a downloadable checklist -- no need to sign up.

Which stage of writing a book are you in right now?

Though there’s no one right way to write a book, there is a road map you can follow so you know you’re headed in the right direction.

Read about the 4 stages below. Then tell us which one fits best for you and what your next steps are.

UPCOMING LIVE COURSE

Do you yearn to write a novel,
but don't know where to begin?
60-Day Novel Starts April 1st

"I have taken this course and it has helped me so much. Before I took the class I had done a lot of writing, but I didn't have a coherent draft. 

Plus I knew what I had written needed a lot of work, but I didn't know where to start to try and fix it. Beth Barany's class and her help gave me the structure and the information I needed about novel writing to get my characters, plot, and storyline really come together. 

Now I feel excited to sit down and write vs. before where I would just feel frustrated and want to give up. Beth is supportive and she's more than a coach. 

She's someone who's really willing to listen and help you figure out the best way to write the story you want to tell."
-- Carol Powers, Writer

As we did for Carol, we can help you find the best way to write your novel.

Is now the time for you to write your novel?

Do you feel deep in your soul that you have a story -- probably many stories to tell -- and that you need to get them out?

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. 

This old Chinese proverb is about how we want to be remembered. What legacy do we want to leave behind?

Stories transport us. Stories teach us. Stories prepare us for what if.

If having structure, accountability, and lots of tools is your thing, and you're ready to write your novel, then check out our flagship course starting April 1st.

And in these times of change, stress, and shelter-in-place, I'm offering this course 50% off!
