Transcript for episode 168 Upcoming classes in Barany School of Fiction

Introduction and Host Background 

Hey everyone. Beth Barany here with How to Write the Future Podcast. I’m your host and I’m also a writing teacher, creativity coach, and novelist. And filmmaker and, okay, now I’ll stop. 

[00:14] Upcoming Classes Overview

In this episode I want to share with you our upcoming classes in Barany School of Fiction.

I used to run an online school, and then it went dormant and now it’s coming back. So I wanna let you know what is on offer for this fall 2025. If you are listening to this after this period or after any of the registrations have closed, be sure to sign up for our mailing list to get notified of our next classes.

And the best way to do that is go ahead and grab our World Building Workbook for Fiction Writers, and you’ll get on our mailing list and you’ll get an awesome World Building, Workbook for Fiction Writers, which is going to help you whether or not you write science fiction, fantasy, any kind of speculative fiction or even contemporary or historical, because world building is one of the key elements that allows your reader to be fully immersed in your story.

All right, so what is coming up this fall? 

[01:13] Next Step Writers Group 

First off, we have the Next Step Writers Group, which is a critique group that starts September 8th. By the time you’re listening to this, we’ve already closed registration, but stay tuned. We’re gonna be opening it up again. If this is something that you really, really, really, really, really, really want, reach out to me and we’ll see if there’s room, but probably registration will be closed. 

[01:34] Creative Entrepreneurship Training Program 

Next up, we have a fabulous program that we are launching for the first time. It’s a pilot program. And this is for you if you are a writer and you want to serve writers, that is you wanna build a business helping other writers. You might be a book coach, a VA, an author’s assistant, a ghost writer, an editor, a book designer.

We are launching our pilot program to get you up and running on the basics of your business. In 12 weeks, we’re gonna teach you how to, put together all the fundamentals you need to either start your business this fall or be ready to do so, come January of next year.

We have a, a really great program for you. It is a commitment, and we hope to see you there. I wanna say that the Creative Writing Professionals apprenticeship program starts September 16th and goes for 12 weeks skipping the week of Thanksgiving, here in the United States. Also in the Creative Entrepreneurship Training program, we’re only taking 12 students.

[02:41] Romancing the Subplot Course

Next up, we have Romancing The Subplot. This course will be a four week course starting October 1st, and this will be taught by Gala Russ, who is a romance author who will teach you how to weave your romantic subplot into your story. It’s for you if you are writing any kind of genre fiction that isn’t romance. And you want to know how to weave romance into your novel. This works best if either you’re a plotter or you already have your first draft done, this class will be for you. So I highly recommend that you take that. We’re only taking 12 students. 

[03:19] Habits of Mind Webinar 

Lastly, we’re gonna do a one off webinar, a 90 minute webinar in October, with a fabulous writing teacher and ghost writer, Bailey Lang and we’re gonna teach you how to enhance your creative writing process in her Habits of Mind workshop. So stay tuned for that. 

[03:40] Conclusion and Contact Information

Be sure to get on our mailing list to get notified when registration opens.

All right, that is it for this week, everyone. If you have a class that you wish I would teach, let me know. I am a speaker who comes to other people’s writing groups. And I offer, select programs here in Barany School of Fiction.

That’s it for this week, everyone. 

Write long and prosper.
