It's a new year and time to get fresh eyes on your work in progress.

Are you looking for beta readers, some of whom might potentially become writing group members

down the line?

Are you wanting to be matched up with those writing in a similar genre and or time

zone so they can critique your work as you critique theirs at the same time?

Your manuscript doesn't have to be complete to sign up

for this 3,000 word evaluation. This matchup will be open to registrations from now until the

2nd of March with the matchup emails going out on the 3rd of March. Always such an exciting day.

For more information and to register, go to Bianca Moray.com and go to

the beta reader matchup tab. And please spread the word, even if you aren't joining the matchup this

time. The more writers we have signed up, the better the matches will be. Hello from CC.

I'm so excited to announce an all new class called Starting It

Right, which is all about how to begin your story in the best place and in the best way. Now,

this is going to be a four-day class, so come prepared to take lots of notes. We'll cover the different

types of beginnings and how to choose the best one for your story, how to frame your

inciting incident in a compelling way, common mistakes writers make when starting a story,

how to balance exposition and mystery, how to make readers connect with your protagonist, and how

to make the reader want to turn to the next chapter and so much more.

And guess what?

For the first time ever, there will be an interactive component to my class.

Everyone who is registered will have the option of sending in the opening scene of their work

for a chance to be critiqued during the webinar.
