Participants of National Novel Writing Month had the help of writing coach Beth Barany, who, along with creator Alicia Dunams, helms an intensive writing program called Bestseller in a Weekend for Fiction Writers. The three-day program is broadcast online via live webinar sessions and is ideal for overwhelmed writers who desire the support of a writing community and reliable, no-nonsense tricks of the publishing trade, but who may feel lost amidst the many concerns relevant to publishing.
