Hi Friend,

Head's up: 2 things to do before this week's call -- see below for what you need to gather ahead of the call!

Ezra and I look forward to reconnecting with you tomorrow, Thursday for Call #1, the second group call of the month.

Please RSVP by hitting reply and letting us know whether or not you will be there. Thanks! :)

Read on for all the details.

We'll discuss together!

So bring your questions and also your favorite solutions to share!

Prepare: As always, have your manuscript handy! We'll do some fun things, as always.

Also:

• Bring your soapbox statement -- see last session; here's that handout
  

• Bring your story's map -- bring your sketches; if you haven't already created a map, sketch one in 5 minutes. You won't be showing it unless you want to... it's just to start that level of location clarity.

**PLUS: We may do some exercises with you! Surprise! It'll be useful AND fun.

**PLUS: Answer your questions about anything! Well, anything related to our work as genre fiction novelists.

**PLUS: Let's talk about upcoming topics and other fun new things.

Your Edits - Upcoming Schedule

(Send in 250 words as a Word or txt documents, at least 1 day ahead of the call.)

-- On the schedule: Beth, Ezra, Hugh, Nicole, Katie

Reminder: In each call, we'll focus on one person per call for line edits, so that each person gets about 20-30 minutes, as needed.

♥️

And together we'll also:

-- do our Metaphor Check-ins & Good News

-- share next steps and announcements

Bring your questions, shares, and celebrations to the call.

We'll also have a good time connecting!

Thanks!

Your Group Benefits

SELF-PACED COURSES: As a member of the group coaching program, you normally have access to all our courses, but I no longer use Teachable, and I haven't transferred over the new courses yet. 

If you need something, just ask and I'll send you the lesson.

◊

MORE QUESTIONS?

Let me know if you have any questions, request for clarifications, or suggestions. Business hours are generally: M-F, 9-6pm PT. I aim to reply to emails within that time and within 24 hours of receipt.

We're here to help you craft a successful and sustainable career as a novelist, so that you can inspire the world with your stories.

Thanks!
Hugs and love from us!
