What’s Your Hurdle? 
☕️ 💗 💫

December 3, 2021
Oakland, CA

Hi Friend,
Welcome new subscribers from the Writer's Fun Zone blog! And welcome longtime blog and newsletter readers. I so appreciate all of you.

Thank you for being you, for being a story teller, for caring about your fiction, and for being a reader of Creativity Sparks. I am grateful to serve novelists and creative entrepreneurs and to support your creative process.


I’m excited to announce that my Group Coaching Program for Genre Fiction Novelists is open for registration. 

Why group coaching? 

Writing is a solitary activity for most of us. And authors thrive in communities where they can share their struggles and achievements with each other. 

In the group coaching program we've been running for the last 7 years, you will have the opportunity to build lasting friendships with other authors just like you, connect to people who are facing the same hurdles you face, and grow as you learn beside them.

But first, let me ask you a few questions. 
  • Have you finished a novel and aren’t sure what to do with it? 
  • Have you started editing and found the process overwhelming? 
  • Or maybe you’ve got a handle on the editing process but have no idea how to create an online author presence and marketing strategy.
If you answer YES to any of the above, you may want to consider joining our 12-month Group Coaching Program for Genre Fiction Writers.

As part of the Group Coaching Program you will join us on group calls twice a month for 12 months, starting on Feb. 1, 2022. 

In each meeting we check in with each other, sharing both our struggles and successes. Ezra and I present a unique lesson that will guide you step by step from writing and editing to publishing and marketing your novel. And we will help you cross those hurdles every writer faces with our own years of experience.

Ezra and I are both award-winning novelists, professional teachers, coaches and mentors and we would love to help you reach your own author career goals.

I’ve specifically designed the Group Coaching Program, from our personal experience of getting published (upfront: we’re both award-winning independently published authors) to lead you through everything you need to know to write, publish and market your novel. 


Read on for a more in-depth description...

What does Group Coaching offer?

In addition to bi-monthly meetings you will have access to live courses and trainings the Barany School of Fiction offers throughout the year, home study courses at the Barany School of Fiction that will expand on our live lessons and cover novel planning, writing, editing and publishing, and a literal stack of templates and checklists to help you plan your journey. 

You will also receive personal editing support from me and from my co-teacher during your journey. 

In addition to all that, you will become a member of the exclusive Fellowship of the Pen community, full of writers who have been where you are right now and made the choice to take the next steps in their writing and publishing journey. 

As part of that community you will receive my weekly newsletter and have access to exclusive live writing sprints.

Over the next couple weeks I’ll be offering quizzes, self-assessments, and examples of the valuable information you will learn over the course of the year. It’s an opportunity for you to decide if you’re ready to take the next step in your author journey. 

I have one more question for you.

What A Participant Said

"I can't tell you how much your coaching and friendship has meant to me. I would never have gotten as far as I have without both of you. My only real regret is I didn't know about your school earlier. Your lessons and instructions are the cornerstone of my new writing career."
-- Keri Kruspe, Author of Otherworldly Romantic Adventures



Have a happy and creative week! Happy Writing!

All my best,

Beth
