Hi Friend,

Ezra and I had a great time at StoryExpo in LA last weekend. I highly recommend it if you want something different than your standard writing conference. StoryExpo focuses mostly on TV and screenplay writing, with some fiction courses.

October 1-31, 2016: Plan Your Novel 30-Day Plan Your Novel course


If you've been stuck on planning your novel, the problem may be that there isn't enough conflict; that you don't know your characters well enough; or, you've lost your why. Or something else. Like not knowing where to begin.

In our Plan Your Novel course, we give you a roadmap, help you heighten your conflict, help you get to know your characters better, and encourage to discover your why alongside your character's motivations.

If you want to have fun while planning that novel you've always wanted to write, and get ready for National Novel Writing Month that starts November 1st, then come join us. We'd love to have you!

Sign up here:



Have a Happy and Creative Week!

And thanks for showing up for yourself and doing your creative work!

All our best,
Beth & Ezra

PS. I said I'd be answering more novel planning questions in the weeks to come. That may take a while. In the meantime, check out tips here: 8 Novel Planning Tips.
