*Resending! Sorry about the typos!

You're not alone

Hi Friend,

I'm re-sending this for a few reasons.

A typo in the subject line. My bad.
A reminder to let you know the early bird pricing for the upcoming online writing retreat ends tonight midnight. It's $97 now and will go up to $127 after that.
And give you the coupon code so you can take advantage of the offer!

Here's what I sent earlier...

When I wanted to learn how to write a novel, I didn't know where to turn.

I'd read all the books, but they didn't really help me. (Okay, they helped a little, got me started, and certainly got me inspired.)

But...

I knew I needed to get myself with my peers and with teachers. (I talk more about this here.)

And learn from hands-on experience, real stories from real writers.

That is how I've become the novelist I am today -- from hands-on real-world learning.

And that's what Kat and Marci have created for you, bringing together writers who are also teachers, editors, and coaches, like myself.

Novelists, join us!

Summer is arriving. 2023 is rushing past.

And there’s still so much to learn and do in order to finish your book.

Writing a novel is so much harder than it seems at first.

You need to create a new setting (or world), develop characters from scratch, outline a compelling plot, get the grammar right, fight off imposter syndrome …phew!

What if I told you that you could find live resources for all those problems and get back on track in just two days?

My friends Kat Caldwell and Marci Renée have gathered some of the best experts on novel writing to teach workshops on May 16 & 17 and you’re invited to attend!

Each teacher will present a live workshop of writing tools that you can use RIGHT AWAY so you can finish your novel in 2023.

Look who is coming to teach - and their topics:

Lewis Jorstad - Writing Crossroads: How Your Hero’s Decisions Define Your Story

Stacy Juba - Adding Nonverbal Communication and Body Language to Enrich Your Story

Emma Dhesi - Confidence Comes From Doing

Tracee Garner - Finding the Perfect Hook

Marci Renée - The Power of Telling Your Story ; Interactive Story Circle

Beth Barany (me) - Uncover Your Character’s Worst Fears to Discover Your Story Conflicts

(More on that below)

Kat Caldwell - 5 Mistakes to Avoid to Create A Stellar Story

And they’re all teaching on different specifics you need to know to write your best novel.

All in 48 hours.

It will be intense, but recordings will be made and available to every participant.

Plus, we will have a sprinting room open in between workshops where you can start implementing what you learned in the workshop into your novel right away.

You can do it!

We know you can.

And the best part is that you don’t have to do it alone!

With the help of Kat and Marci’s Online Writing Retreat, you can receive the help you need to finish your book — without burning out!

We’re focusing the writing retreat on giving you help, time, and space to write in a fun and supportive community environment.

Just imagine what it would feel like to have your book written by the end of the year!

Yes, you can do this!

❤️

This is what I'll be teaching Tuesday, May 16, 2023, 10:30am PT/1:30pm ET, a hands-on 90-minute workshop.

Uncover Your Character’s Worst Fears to Discover Your Story Conflicts

Many writers are panters – they write mostly by the seat of their pants.

They find that many plotting tools don’t work for them.

Creating compelling and real conflict seems out of reach.

Perhaps that’s you.

That’s definitely me too.

I also call myself an organic writer.

So, I found an organic way to develop my story’s conflicts and crack compelling stories.

For over a decade (almost 17 years in fact!), I’ve helped writers craft their novels and this is one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit to go from interesting character to strong spine of your story.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be invited to take one of your main characters and use this tool to craft your story’s conflicts.

Come prepared to write to explore and develop your novel.
