Whether you're an established author with an agent and a publishing house, or you're just starting out in your writing career, the writing and editing process is daunting. Not "can be" daunting. It IS. It may get easier in some ways, but in others it becomes more complex. There are a bazillion resources out there for writers, but that can be overwhelming as well. 

I love this course, Book Editing Blueprint: A Step-by-Step Plan to Making Your Novels Publishable, because it's "all" there. Super informative, lots of resources, and amazing worksheets. I totally recommend you check it out! You. Are. Welcome!!
 
Book Editing Blueprint: A Step-By-Step Plan To Making Your Novels Publishable is a self-paced online course for beginner and intermediate fiction and creative nonfiction writers.
 
Features list: The course contains 10 self-editing modules plus a bonus module on foiling the frustration. It includes:

• 28 video tutorials, most between 4-10 minutes
• 200 pages of transcripts
• 71-page workbook with worksheets and cheat sheets
• 25-page Book Editing Blueprint checklist

●      7 quizzes

Who is this course for?

• Beginner writers who have just finished, are working on, or are thinking about writing a fiction or creative nonfiction manuscript. For fiction, the course is appropriate for any genre other than picture books or books for young children. It would be appropriate for authors of short stories, middle grade novels, YA novels, novellas, or adult novels. Creative nonfiction is a manuscript about people and places (such as a memoir, essays, or biography) that can benefit from fiction techniques like description, emotion, and characterization. 
• Intermediate authors who have had a couple of books published, but their editors keep sending them back to the drawing board for multiple rounds of rewrites and the editing process still feels overwhelming. They want to turn in well-developed, polished manuscripts and get to a higher level.
• Authors who find hiring an editor too expensive and feel they might be skimping on the editing process due to cost.

●      Authors who don’t want a crazy-intensive course that will take months to get through and that they might give up on. They want a simpler way to get there.

It's incredibly bitter sweet to publish this book. I've been writing my Well Paired series for the past four years, and now it's come to an end. While each of the seven books in the series is a standalone, the minor characters in one book end up getting their own love story later on. And once that story is told, the couple pops back up in the rest of the series. 

If you're like me, you've fallen in love with Crystal Cove, the little coastal town in Maine, and all of the people in the small town. Carter, whose story is told in All of You, wasn't going to get his own book, but he won the hearts of readers and so he, too, finally finds his HEA.
Enjoy!

All of You
A Well Paired novel
Can a small-town guy who seems too good to be true win the heart of the cynical city girl?
 
Hailey Webster returns home to Maine after being away for more than a decade. Photographing the picture-perfect models wasn’t following her dreams, and her manipulating cheater boyfriend made her realize that. Completely unfazed by attractive pretty boys, Hailey struggles to keep the tempting blue-eyed charmer with a smile that makes her tingle in the right places at arm’s length. 

Carter Marshall isn’t one to fall fast and hard for a woman, but he’s instantly drawn in by Hailey’s iridescent eyes and quick wit. When he’s hired to redesign the website for a fancy resort, he finagles a way to have Hailey be the photographer on the project. It doesn’t take long for him to see the beauty of her soul and her broken, fragile heart. He wants to be the one to help her heal. When Hailey offers him one night, but Carter realizes he wants a heck of a lot more. 

He wants all of her, for all time.
