| Announcing the Contest Winners... |

April 24, 2014
Hi Friend,
Thanks for signing up for our special teleseminar on The Secrets to Getting Your Novel Done This Year: How to Plan Out Your Book Without Plotting.
Today I'm announcing the winners of our contests and news (a personal reveal)!
Contest winners:
For sending in your story timeline on how you would reach THE END:
Thank you to all the entrants! I loved reading everyone's timelines to reach the end!
News!
SO sorry for my delay in announcing the winners. I went through what one of my business coaches calls a "vulnerability hangover."
We are all human. Quirks & All.
I was born with hands that are different, as you'll see on my Instagram channel. I'm not yet ready to post these pictures elsewhere, so apologies in advance for those of you not yet on Instagram. (Good news: You don't need an account to see my pictures via a web browser. Not sure about via your smartphone.)
My story may be unique, but one thing is true for me: my hands were never a barrier to writing. I even type 40 words a minute, and can write 1,000 words an hour when I'm in the flow.
All of this to share with you that I want to bring all of me to my work as a writing coach for novelists, even the parts of me that aren't "pretty" or "normal."
We are all human. Warts {strikethrough} Quirks & All.
What are you hiding even from yourself? What truth, what desire? What if you shared that, in a way that was safe, but a little bit risky? What would you reveal?
Why is this important?
When we see all of ourselves and let others see us we: are more creative; are more visible; are more of who we really are and breathe more fully. We are more alive. We are more in rapport with ourselves.
From here, we can choose anew.
What do you choose now?
This is my take on things. Please take what's useful to you and leave the rest.

I've been going through some deep changes here, as my above rumination shows, and one of those changes is that I've decided to cap our Group Coaching Program for Novelists to 15 people, instead of have a group of 40, like I first intended.
Why? I realized that I really prefer coaching a small group of people in an intimate environment. I can give more attention to each person and for me that's more fun.
So, we have only 5 more spots.
If you know this program is write right for you, come join us! We officially start May 1st!

Here's what one participant said: "Beth Barany’s coaching group program has been invaluable to me in the completion of the first draft of my manuscript. I wasn’t sure I would finish the work when I started, but once I began Beth’s program I was able progress at a steady pace. I took the course of study that included a bi-weekly review of sections of my work in progress, tri-weekly progress reminders/check-ins posted on the group page, a monthly tutorial call, and support from Beth, Ezra, and the fellow authors of the group through chat on the group page. This schedule helped keep me moving consistently forward in a supportive environment with no episodes of the dreaded block.
"I met the goals I set for myself at the start of the program for finishing the first draft of an original YA fantasy manuscript that I am confident will be a wonderful book for my future readers to enjoy. I am continuing on with the course as I start another manuscript while I move through the process of polishing the first book in preparation for pitch and publication. Beth’s guidance has helped me find the words and methods to develop a set of characters with emotional depth that work through adventure, challenges, and conflict while experiencing personal growth as they move through the story arc." -- Patricia Watson Let me know if you have questions! And Happy Writing!
Here's to you and your dreams!
Best,
Beth
