I have a first draft of my novel, now what?

Hi Friend,

I'm in the middle of teaching the February class“Editing for Compelling Characters: Beyond the 5 Senses." Very much enjoying the deep dive into this material and helping the students strengthen their characters. It will be a homestudy course in March.

In the meantime, you can still get the webinar I did last month here: 

Now to our lead question: I have a first draft of my novel, now what?

You can take yourself through a process to edit your novel. I help you with that in a homestudy class here. With purchase, you have lifetime access and will get all the updates.

You also can get an expert opinion!

My colleague and friend, C. S. Lakin is offering a special on her trademark 50-page critique on manuscripts. 

Critiques are a great way to feedback on your work and can give you a roadmap on where to go next.

If you sign up for her Novel Writing Fast Track mailing list group, you can get a discount on her 50-page critique.

Once you sign up, just reply back to your first email asking for the $50-off critique special.

You’ll also get two free writing craft eBooks the first week and free PDFs every month. And a chance to win even more books!

Here's to you and your creativity!

Have a great week!

All my best,
Beth
