Editing Tips for Your Success,

Upcoming Event!

Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024

Hi Friend,

I'm putting the finishing touches on my slides, about to eat lunch, and was watching science and political videos with my husband and mother-in-law who bikes several miles each week to visit with us and drink my awesome coffee (daughter-in-law brownie points!).


And I wanted to be sure you knew about this upcoming event.


Next week, I'll be giving an editing webinar to help you craft a bestselling novel!


I'll take your questions and --


I'll do 1 (one) live edit!


That could be you!


See below for how to win this opportunity!


I'll do more live edits, if we have time.


And I have a special invitation at the end.

This training event is a way for us to connect and for you to get your questions answered.


This webinar is especially for those who have finished their first draft and are ready to start editing their novel with an eye on publishing their book in the next year or two.


Looking forward to hearing your questions and sharing a moment together.


Sign up with the link below so that you can get all the details.


Yes, it will be recorded if you can't make it live. I'll send out the recording in the 24-48 hours that follow.

How to get live help at Tuesday's webinar


Because editing isn't just an intellectual exercise, I will do one live editing demo in the training.


Here's how you can get live help and immediate support at the training on your story.


Live Demo!

Since most writers learn by doing, including me, one of the ways I help writers is through live editing sessions in our mastermind program and in our 1-1 premium sessions.


During live edits, we look at language, voice, sentence structure, voice, story purpose, and more.


As I edit, I share my motivation for each choice, so the writers see editing in action and understand their options.


Get Live Feedback


If you'd like to get that kind of feedback, I have time to do one live edit for our training.


If you'd like to be the one who gets the live edit, and can be at the training, please send me your paragraph as an attachment by Sunday, Jan. 28, 9pm PT. (Convert to your time zone.)


I will pick one person ahead of time.


If we have time, I will do more.


Take Action


Take action by hitting reply or email me - beth@bethbarany.com - with the subject line: "Live Edit".


Be sure to include your paragraph as a MS Word attachment in the following specifications.


Format specifications


Please make sure your attachment is:

  • MS Word .doc or .docx;

  • 12 pt font;

  • Times New Roman font;

  • 1-inch margins;

  • no more than 50 words

  • as-is; your first or early draft; come as you are!


As I said, I'll choose one person among those who send me one paragraph that is no more that 50 words and ideally from the start of your book.


If we have time, I will do a few more live edits at the end of the webinar for those who are present.


I'll also announce a special invite in the training, so please do come and join us live.


Permission details


If you send me your paragraph, please know that your work will be on screen, recorded, and shared with those who registered. It will be available to them as a replay, and remain under your copyright. I only have the right to share it in my marketing, a non-exclusive right.


Also, by sending me your paragraph, you agree that the content you send is original to you or you have the rights to have the material.

About


“Beth is able to “zoom in” on an individual writer’s blocks, at the same time providing a group process that allows everyone to benefit. Beth’s ability to support and gently challenge her authors is wonderful and led me–as I’m sure it has led many others–to uncover layers of character motivation that I had not been aware of in my novel.”

— Rachael Pruitt

 

In this special master class, Beth Barany will share unique models and frameworks you can use, and actionable steps you can take right now to edit your novel so that you can attract your ideal readers.

 

All with no extra expense by…

  • Assessing your strengths and weaknesses.

  • Focusing on genre.

  • Centering your character.

  • Aligning language.

You will see how you can unleash your story’s potential and transform your manuscript into a publish-ready masterpiece.
