New Things Coming

from the doodling heart of Beth Barany, creativity coach for writers

Many new things are coming... I'm ruminating on changes. Can you tell from my doodles?!

And yet the content and intent of my work remains the same -- that of supporting fiction writers to write, edit, market, and publish their novels in their own way and on their own terms.

I'll be opening up a membership program so it's easier to get access to my over 25 courses in the school and get active support via our community.

I'll be opening up slots to our intimate group mastermind program.

And, I'll be opening up slots for one-on-one developmental editing and coaching support from me.

I don't have dates yet on these, so stay tuned. I'll be opening waitlists soon.

If you'd like to know more on any of these three programs, hit reply and let me know. I'd be happy to share!

For a Good Cause

Unfortunately, I know what it's like to be poor and hungry, though thankfully not homeless, but near it. (Over 30 years ago, while in my 20s.) And so, I never like to see people go hungry if I can help it.

So when I saw the work World Central Kitchens is doing in conflict areas, and disaster and climate-affected zones all over the world, like the Ukraine, Ethiopia, and Syria, and in the United States hard hit areas, I wanted to lend a hand.

Gratefully, my life circumstances have greatly improved. So I can act and did so by donating money to them.

I invite you to support the World Central Kitchen cause if you are so moved.

Donate here.
