Stuck with Your First Draft?

Let's Transform It Together ❤️


Hi Friend,

In 2010, I finished my first fantasy novel draft. And then in 2022, I celebrated publishing my 12th novel.


But do you want to know a secret?


Editing my novels still makes me a little nervous.

😅


But still, I press on. And the more I press on, the better results I've had.


Look, we all lack confidence sometimes. But the difference between 2010 and 2022 for me is simple.


Support and guidance from experienced mentors.


Because while you may think that scary feeling of "I don't know how to turn this messy first draft into a polished novel" is the biggest obstacle in your way, it's not.


The biggest thing stopping you from transforming your draft into a publish-ready masterpiece is much simpler than that.


You just haven't had the right support system.


And that's what Ezra and I want to help you with inside our 12-month Author Group Mastermind Program.


With our program, you will get started. And you will have the support and guidance you need to take your novel to the next level.


(Bonus: with our twice-monthly group calls, we answer that scary "How do I edit this thing?" feeling directly! And on your story!)


I'm guessing you're the type of person that doesn't just want to settle for a drawer novel that never sees the light of day. (Well, we all have one of those but we don't have to stop there.)


You're the type of person that's:

  • Serious about your science fiction or fantasy writing

  • Ready to rise above self-doubt and move into confident authorship

  • Knows in your gut you're meant to be a published novelist

  • Would really like to have a story like I shared up at the top of this email

And that's me too, Friend.


So let's go after it all… together.


We support writers in a small group because something magical happens when we gather together with curiosity, enthusiasm, and an open heart. We learn, we have fun, and we move forward on our novels.


Join us!


I am inviting you! If this is the right next step in your life.


Join our 12-month Author Group Mastermind Program and finally get moving towards your dream of being a published sci-fi/fantasy author to start the new year strong!

Keep imagining, and Happy Writing!


Best,

Beth


❤️
