"Studying and working with Bethany one-on-one is what really took my writing to the next level. I had been sitting on my recent nonfiction idea for a couple of years. After my last rejection, Bethany said, “it’s time for you to write it. If you don’t, someone else will.” She gave me two weeks to get a draft to her. I’ve never worked that hard to produce a manuscript. The edits from Bethany paid off! In BIG ways!"
“Bethany helped me realize that I had a unique voice in my work and that I should trust my instincts when writing. She helped make my work read and sound so much more authentic when I let my own "-isms" shine and worry less about how other writers would portray something.”
“I chose a lit life coaching package because Bethany’s knowledge of and insight into the kid lit world is vast — she’s a real pro. I already have an agent and a wonderful, consistent critique group, so if I was going to add another layer to my writing support schedule (and to my writing expenses!), it needed to be something that went above and beyond. Bethany’s one-on-one sessions are just that. In them, we talk about specific texts, have conversations on more broad literary topics and questions, or even spin out future writing ideas and plans. Needless to say, our hour races by!”
“The word coach comes from the same word for a carriage or stagecoach: a vehicle that brings you to your destination. That kind of coaching answers the important HOW questions of getting from point A to B. How do I get and keep an agent and know that agent is right for me? I landed an agent and a book deal: now what? How do I deal with the many twists and turns that make up the Lit Life? Wherever you are on your writing journey, Bethany will help you get there, with that perfect balance of a warm heart and a clear mind. She’s been in the room where it happens, and that insider knowledge was absolutely vital for me, an emerging BIPOC writer with disabilities living abroad.
Yet even more invaluable was her guidance on the WHY questions, which took our one-to-one sessions to another level by shifting my perspective from the margin to the center. Like a guide who surveys the entire terrain, Bethany encourages us to be clear-eyed advocates for ourselves—and to always ask for what we need, so that we and our work will thrive. With heart and humor, Bethany’s coaching offers a beautifully expansive vision of what our Lit Life can be, one rooted in service and authenticity.”
