Fiction Writers, Tools and Events to Feed Your Creative Soul


Quiz! Calling all sci-fi and fantasy writers:

Is this you? ❤️


Hi Friend,

Pop quiz time!


How many can you check off?

  • I feel completely in control of my sci-fi/fantasy manuscript

  • Character development and world-building are a breeze

  • Writer's block isn't something I experience often anymore

  • I have a clear path to publishing my novel

  • Editing my manuscript is more fun than stressful nowadays

If you read through those and thought… Uh, editing is a huge overwhelming undertaking and I don’t even know where to start and what if I’m doing it wrong? Ack! And it hurts to think about all editing things!


A minion with a shocked expression on their face, saying, “I have to do what?!“


I get it and I get you. So much.


I’ve been there and come out the other side with published, award-winning novels.


And, I have a plan for you to check all these off in just 12 months when you join our Author Group Mastermind Program. (If… it’s a good fit for you!)


Together, we -- my co-teacher, Ezra Barany, and I (and award-winning novelist and my husband) -- are going to use our proven methods to literally change how you approach your novel. Which in turn, is going to give you confidence and skills you need to hit your publishing goals.


So, here's what you need to know:


While our program is pretty darn magical, it's not magic. Like anything, it requires commitment.


But that's why when you join our 12-month Author Group Mastermind for Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers, you're going to get training, strategy, AND support to transform your first draft into a publish-ready masterpiece that will help you:


1- Complete your novel with confidence

2- Streamline your editing process


Our program also includes personalized feedback to ensure you know all about and have the strategy behind crafting compelling characters, exciting stories, and immersive worlds.


That means by the end of the program you'll know how to:


- Develop complex, believable characters

- Create rich, immersive worlds

- Structure your plot for maximum impact

- Edit your work like a pro

- Navigate the path to publication


And mark my words Friend ... I'm going to get you to your goals.


We are committed to your success.


"I can't tell you how much your coaching and friendship has meant to me. I would never have gotten as far as I have without both of you. My only real regret is I didn't know about your [program] earlier. Your lessons and instructions are the cornerstone of my new writing career." - Keri Kruspe, Author of Otherworldly Romantic Adventures


Let's stop struggling alone, Friend.


With our 12-month Author Group Mastermind, I want to help you get clear on what you want and build your sci-fi/fantasy novel in alignment with your goals and dreams.


Sounds good?


Excellent! Let's do it.


Get yourself signed up right here and we'll send you all your login details, so you can start right away. (And you'll get ALL the bonuses if you sign up by Oct. 31.)

Keep imagining, and Happy Writing!


Best,

Beth


❤️



PS. Don't forget what Hugh Tipping, epic fantasy novelist, said about our program: "In my one-on-one sessions with Beth, the vigorous review of my manuscript along with the masterful feedback has made me feel like I am in an MFA program. The welcoming and approachable style of both Beth and Ezra Barany leave you heartened and motivated." This could be you in just 12 months!
