Hi Friend,

Wherever you’re at in your writing journey -- confused as you edit your manuscript, not quite ready for an editor, or looking for ways to buff up your self-editing technique, Stacy Juba’s Book Editing Blueprint has something for you.


And it’s the Blueprint’s birthday!


So we have a special offer for you in celebration.


🎂 Book Editing Blueprint just turned 5 -- and to celebrate, my colleague Stacy Juba is giving writers $148 off, a brand-new workshop, and access to an exclusive bonus bundle (available until May 6).


If you’re sick of the scattered writing tips you find online, Juba’s course has everything in one place, straightforward and to the point.


If you’re wanting to write smarter and edit with confidence, the course is waiting with guidance for you.


If you don’t want to hire an editor too early and burn out with all of the critique, we have tips for you to bring your manuscript to a polished state, ready for a second set of eyes.


Drafting your book? You’ll get The Draft Your Novel Planner to help develop your story before structure problems creep in.


Already have a draft? You’ll follow the Book Editing Blueprint Workbook to self-edit like a pro--step by step, without the overwhelm.


Inside the course, you’ll find:

  • 10 no-fluff modules on plot, POV, pacing, dialogue, line editing & more

  • 35 bite-sized videos with full transcripts

  • The Blueprinter’s Complete Editing Tracker – a detailed Google spreadsheet that walks you through each stage of editing

  • A 26-page printable version for those who prefer pen and paper.

  • Worksheets, quizzes and cheat sheets that help you apply what you learn

You’ll also get these bonuses valued at $300: 


🎁 Lessons from the Trenches: How These Authors Conquered Tough Rewrites author panel  -- Real stories from writers who pushed through messy rewrites   


🎁 Rewriting Without Regret: Turning an Old Story Into Something New workshop -- How to salvage an old project (and know when not to) 


🎁 Read Like an Editor challenge -- Train your editing instincts by studying published books

🎁 AI Tools lesson: Where ChatGPT, ProWritingAid & Grammarly help -- and where they hurt.


🎁 Creative Techniques for Nonfiction – How to blend storytelling with facts

Enroll by May 6 to unlock all the limited-time birthday extras: 


🎉 $148 off the course (just $349 instead of $497)


🎉 How Would an Editor Fix This? Your Pages, Your Questions workshop -- ($97 value, coming in July)


    Submit your questions, watch Stacy revise student pages, and optionally upgrade for a $25 mini critique

🎉 Retiring bonus bundle -- Valued at over $1,000, this bundle includes workshops on Facebook Ads, book publicity, mindset, motivation, sample editorial letters, and more

Writers call this course “the best thing I’ve done for my career.” And honestly, it’s easy to see why.


It’s practical. Repeatable. Encouraging. And it meets you right where you are -- whether you’re polishing your third novel or stuck in the messy middle of your first.
