Request for help! + Resources to Nourish The Soul for the New Year

Hi Friend,

Today I'm sharing:


  • a giveaway bundle of nonfiction books

  • an invite to a Free Preview of Writing Webinars

  • an invite to my upcoming Editing Training


But first a request for help!


My request may be a bit odd...


For a project I'm working in, I'd like to talk to female founders in the space industry for no-sales user discovery call.


Who do you know? Can you introduce us?


If you're on LinkedIn, you can share my post here.


Some background:


I'm taking a course, "New Space Economy" at EdX for deep research for my fiction and am doing the certificate track. So I need to create an investor pitch deck for my own space-related business. A tentative business idea at this point.


When I started working on the project about telling the stories around space debris clean-up, I realized that I didn't know my potential customers. So I need to talk to them!


Hence the request.


So, if you do know anyone in the space industry, I'd love an intro. Thanks so much!


❤️

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

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.
