welcome to
The Mentorship:
custom and designed just for you.
▼

You don’t need another writing course.
You need a resurrection.
The Mentorship: Phoenix Era Summer Experience isn’t for the hobbyist, the dabbler, the meh committed.
❤️🔥 It’s for the writer who KNOWS she's good and has so much to offer but just can't gather the energy or focus. But if she could?? Oh world, watch out!
❤️🔥 She’s SICK of feeling like she’s been left behind.
❤️🔥 She’s TIRED of starting and stopping and the thought of mustering the energy to start again feels so daunting.
❤️🔥 But, she’s also a writer who REFUSES to let another year go by living in the same story, the same frustrations, the same pain.
❤️🔥 She is DETERMINED that now is the time where she will rise from the ashes of hard months or years and come back stronger than she’s ever been.
This is the mentorship where her focus, motiviation, and creativity are reborn.

I was hurting. Wanting it so much, but not knowing what I was missing. Now I know and it was lifechanging. I knocked my book out in three months because of it and am now agented!

recommit and achieve what you say you will.
What can you achieve?
⭐️ Carolyn KNEW that she had something really special with her story and she got tired of waiting around for permission. Together, we whipped her WIP into shape and she published it on her birthday. It's now won six (and counting) awards!
⭐️ Sam's had a dream to publish since she was in high school. But life was lifing and work never seemed to let up. Her dream was feeling so far away but together, we hammered out and edited a whole TRILOGY of books, we put together an epic social media and launch runway, and she published the first of her books on her birthday!
⭐️ Kathy went from having this HUGE idea in her heart that she was desperate to write but could never really follow through with or even start. And now, she's writing every single day and she's more confident and joyful with her writing than ever before. She's having a blast and aims to publish her first book on her grandaughter's birthday!
⭐️ Cindy had just celebrated a big birthday and she did NOT want another birthday to go by without finally writing and sharing her story, one she loved so much. We worked together and voila! She signed a multi-book deal with a small press and she's now an award winning author and is a guest at romance cons!
And so many more achievements!

Trusted by writers just like you.
“Bethany truly cares about writers. She wants to make the manuscript better but she also wants to make the writer better. She’s thoughtful and considerate, as well as an enthusiastic and wonderful editor. I highly recommend her, especially if you’re looking to level up in craft.”
“The best way I can describe Bethany as a teacher is that her energy is contagious, reaffirming and calm all wrapped into one. From the first sessions I had with her Bethany really helped me cement my confidence in my writing and my voice. She really listens to your concerns and helps you work through them. She’s also very real with you, especially if you are a BIPOC author trying to break into the industry about what it is like and the challenges you might face.”
“Equal parts cheerleader, coach, and story guru, Bethany creates smart, approachable tools that help writers get out of their own way, see their stories clearly, and get excited about writing again!”
“Bethany is the ultimate hype-woman. She cares about the characters she reads and she has so many ideas to help you with your first or second draft. Bethany’s help was invaluable. If you need someone to run ideas by and to help make the beginning of your story stronger, do yourself a favor and hire Bethany. You’ll thank yourself later!”
“Bethany was very engaging and her enthusiasm and love for the craft motivated me in my passion to write stories.”
“Not only is she a great professional, but she's a great human being. I would recommend her expertise to anyone.”
“Her taking the time to understand me and what I was looking for became even more helpful personally, motivating me to do my best to continue writing, even if it’s just a few paragraphs a day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for friendly advice, but also someone who will challenge you and motivate you to really think about your writing and your journey.”
“Bethany’s feedback is just what I needed. She helped me with my novel, giving me encouraging comments as well as notes on how to make my prose, dialogue and action stronger. She is insightful as a reader and has a great mind for how to play to an author’s strengths.”
“Working with Bethany was such a pleasure! She is knowledgeable, honest and an excellent communicator. She was able to pinpoint weaknesses in my work and provide feedback on how to overcome them.”
“Bethany’s unique writing lessons are NEXT LEVEL! With her help, I was able to sculpt my novel and get agented. She really knows her stuff!!”
"Bethany is a powerhouse observer and adapted her coaching strategies to meet my needs. She was able to dig deep and work diligently to tap into my joy and motivation, expertly moving me forward. I needed someone to help me crystalize my writing goals and set appropriate steps to reach them. With a fine-tuned expertise, infectious joy, and a great sense of humor, Bethany has sparked my imagination and provided massive inspiration!”
“Working with Bethany is a pleasure. I'd recommend her to other writers feeling adrift or blocked. She balances between enthusiasm for a story and practical real-world experience to keep our conversations grounded. She's great at nurturing ideas and reinforcing belief in them - in other words, she's good at reminding you of why you started writing in the first place.”
"If you need someone to encourage you while simultaneously kicking your butt, look no further than writing coach/book whisperer/ editor extraordinaire"
"Hand to heart, reaching out to Bethany Hensel for guidance on my ms was the second best choice I made this year (first was saying yes to getting married!)”
but wait!
One last thing
This mentorship is not for beginners. It's not for dabblings or someone who won't commit and do the work. But if you're a writer who KNOWS she's talented...has something to say...feels as if time is running you and you don't want to waste a second of it...and you want someone to help you focus, plan, and get out of your own way...
Then this is the place for you.
You're going to get so much traction and self trust, a system that works for your life, and momentum on your biggest, most heartfelt goals.
You're not ever going to push your dreams off "until tomorrow" ever again.
You're going to start now.
You're going to become the writer your dreams are waiting for.

hello, there
I'm Bethany!
And I totally get it. It's 2025, you've been writing/toiling/trying to figure it out on your own for years, but nothing you do seems to be working. And that author career you've been dreaming of is feeling further away than ever. You just want answers. You just want help.
Well, in the words of Cher, I got you babe.
You're going to hear it straight and get the help you need to go from where you are to where you want to be. No fluff, no generic advice. Real talk and real, actionable strategies from a real human who's been there before and has guided myself and so many other authors out of overwhelm, spinning wheels, and feeling just so damn stuck.
It's your time to become the writer you know you can be.
Let's do this ❤️COLLABS:
