Your Book Opening: 
What's Working! 
[June Group Call #2] 

 ☕️💗
Hi Friend,

We look forward to reconnecting with you today for Call #2, the second group call of the month.

Thursday, June 30, 2021 at 5:30pm PT / 6:30pm MT / 7:30pm CT / 8:30pm ET

Calls last up to 90 minutes.

Please RSVP. Thanks!

** This week: SPECIAL -- We're doing feedback for this call for two writers. Updated: See below...

**PLUS: a short NLP exercise on exploring your Writer goals.



Our Focus:
Your Book Opening: 
Why It Works 

For this time, we have Beth and Ezra on deck. :) 

Be sure to send ahead of time the first 200-250 words of the beginning of your novel,  so we can discuss together the below topics.

For June 30th: Beth and Ezra
For July 7th: Diana 

Attention: We'll focus on these questions and leave line edits to another time.
  • What is the theme? What is the story about? What is the point of the story?
  • What pulls you in? What's hooking you? Be specific, meaning what words grab you? And why?
  • What genre expectations are your meeting? Subverting?
  • Who is the ideal reader's psychographics*
*PsychographicsPsychographics are the attitudes, interests, personality, values, opinions, and lifestyle of your target market. (From "Psychographics: What They Are & How Marketers Use Them" https://cxl.com/blog/psychographics/

I'd also add: 
  • beliefs
  • desires
  • hopes
  • yearnings

Then we'll integrate the ahas and takeaways back into our creative process.


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!
