Thank you for joining us Sunday for Rewrite Right: 22 Ways to Make Your Book Better, our first monthly meeting on Zoom.
It was wonderful that so many of you were able to participate — about 40 of you, think. I hope you learned something that will help you face your rewriting challenges. I very much appreciate your patience as we navigate our brave new world.
Here are the slides from the presentation:
I’m also sharing a video clip of the meeting. It starts just as I’m introducing myself.
Hope to see you April 26 for David Corbett. Visit our website for updates.

We’ve never hosted a meeting online before, but this is a time of doing things differently.
Author and CWC Marin webmaster John Byrne Barry will present “Rewrite Right! 22 Ways to Make Your Book Better” this coming Sunday on Zoom, a video conferencing host.
We know this is a challenging time for all of us so this meeting will be FREE for all attendees — members and non-members alike, so spread the word.
To join the video conference, click here — https://zoom.us/j/806061116.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to make the experience as positive as possible.
1. We ask you to RSVP, so we have a general idea of how many people will be participating and we can reach you if there are changes.
2. Please join us a few minutes early so you can address technical issues.
3. When you click the link, you will see a screen something like this:
4. Click on “open zoom.us” or if you don’t get that dialog box, click where it says “click here”
5. If you have trouble getting in, we have two CWC Marin board members who will be co-hosts who can help you. (Contact information to come.)
6. Once you’re in, you should see a screen something like this.
Click “test speaker and microphone.” You’ll be able to tell quickly if you’re connected correctly.
7. We will start with the audience muted by the host, but there will be opportunities to ask questions via chat at any time, and we will unmute as well for questions at the appropriate times.
8. Because you may not be muted the entire time, please do what you can to be in a quiet space.
9. Be patient. We’re all learning how to navigate our brave new world.
Thank you. Check back as we get closer to Sunday. We may have updates and more tips.
