Blueprint Your Bestseller Sweepstakes
We know that November (National Novel Writing Month!) is your time
to amp up your daily word count and churn out material. By the end of
the month, you'll have a finished first draft of your book project,

at this point in the writing process may seem daunting to you. This is why we're giving away
three copies of BLUEPRINT YOUR BESTSELLER,
a book about turning messy first drafts into polished manuscripts. It
introduces the Book Architecture Method, a system for revising and
organizing any manuscript. Enter below for a chance to win a copy of the book!
