3 Writer Things ❤️🚀 Due Soon!

In this newsletter:

Need a critique partner?
Plus Romancing The Subplot help
and a podcast invite

Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025

Hi Friend,

I’m always scouting excellent resources for writers. We don’t create in isolation.

We grow faster when we learn from other people’s zones of genius.

I'm always looking for great resources for writers because I can't do it all, and I have a very particular set of skills that is my zone of genius, so I like to share other people's zones of genius.

Here are three ways to boost your momentum this week.

Writers need all the momentum they can get. Amiright?

1) Find your perfect writing ally

You know you found a good writing coach when they offer ways to connect with other writers. And Monica Hay is doing just that.

Monica is running a Writer Buddy Matching program with two paths:

Accountability buddy to help you show up and write
Critique partner to exchange feedback and level up your craft

Deadline to sign up: Sunday, November 16.

Details and sign up here.

If you’ve been craving connection and support, this is a solid place to start.

Why it matters: Feedback and community are rocket fuel.

Even one committed partner can transform your practice.

So vital to the success of every writer is getting feedback on their work.

❤️

2) Romancing the Subplot — small class, deep support

If your story includes a romantic or love thread in any genre, join Romancing the Subplot with master teacher, publishing strategist, and book coach Gala Russ.

This isn’t a "do a quick exercise and leave" workshop.

It’s small, focused, and tailored to your story.

Gala is masterful at helping you understand story structure and then how do you apply it to your story in particular.

You’ll get:

Clear structure you can apply immediately
Hands‑on guidance to wrangle your specific subplot
A supportive room where your questions get answered

Highly recommended for my science fiction and fantasy folks, and writers of any non-romance genre, who want that emotional through‑line to land with readers.

Deadline to sign up: Friday, November 14, 9 PM Pacific.

Details and sign up here.

If you're ready to do some deep dive writing work this weekend and invest in your writing career, this is a great workshop for you.

Writers invest in becoming better writers.

3) Help shape the next podcast episodes

I’m recording a batch of 8–9 "teaching hat" episodes for How To Write The Future and want to answer your real questions.

Bring me your burning question. Small, big, weird—bring it.
Use the short form to submit.
Choose whether to be named or stay anonymous.

Your questions guide the next few months of the show.

Let’s make episodes that genuinely move your writing forward.

Writers succeed when they ask questions, search out answers, and hear from the writing teachers that they like.

So since you're on my newsletter list, I'm inviting you to chime in and help me shape the next few months of the How to Write the Future Podcast.

Jump here for that short survey. Thanks!

Happy Writing!

Best,

Beth

PS. Stay tuned for tomorrow's newsletter of the roundup news of the week, including this week's podcast.

If you want to get a jump on that, you can go ahead and listen to my conversation with really interesting freelance writer and novelist, Randee Dawn.

She's an entertainment journalist in New York City and also has written some fabulous speculative fiction.

PPS: I’m exploring a "Copywriting for Fiction Writers" class.

If that would help your author business, hit reply and tell me what you’d want covered.

Inspired by this smart book I stumbled on this week by Chuck Palahniuk it sparked ideas I can’t wait to test.

PPS. For a creative jolt: I’ve been looping a Spanish singer all week, Rosalía — start with this one track, then another, then the whole album. Pure fire.

:: Science fiction and fantasy novelists: want to work together?

Let's explore!

Hit reply and let me know if you're curious about working together and we can set up a time to chat about that.

I offer:

short-term 1-1 coaching to help you start or finish your novel
small group mentorship for those who have finished their first draft
