Client Testimonial

“I’ve had a book that I’ve wanted to write for so long. For the past several years I’ve procrastinated, started many times but never got traction, made New Year’s resolutions until I finally stopped kidding myself. Discouraged and ready to give up, I discovered Bethany. Her guidance has been magical. It’s happening! I’m writing my book! I’m even enjoying the process! Thank you, Bethany!”

— JANET LANSBURY, Bestselling author of Elevated Child care and No Bad Kids


YOUR path to publication starts here

What’s the story you can’t stop telling?

Your most important work in this world is born from your most private obsessions. The rabbit holes, the late night google searches, that thing you turn every conversation toward.

Therein lies your author-ity. 

Working with me—and a group of other powerful women if you join the accelerator—you’ll discover the courage and confidence to mine your own wisdom so that you can write (and SELL!) your nonfiction book, even before you feel like you’re ready.

Every day I walk women like you through the steps of conceptualizing, organizing, writing, and positioning their book ideas to get the attention of agents and editors. By the end, you’ll have the tools and mindset you need to trust the process and—most importantly—yourself. 

Helping women find their voice and navigate the path to publication is beyond the best job in the world. It’s my calling.

“I only submitted my book proposal twice before being offered a contract, and I received extremely positive feedback from both regarding the quality of the proposal. Working with Bethany is one of the best investments I’ve made in my business and myself.”
