wooo-hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

You are sooo ready to take your writing life to the NEXT LEVEL!

But I get it. Right now, you may still feel stuck in the mud, doing a ton of work but for very little reward. You've bought some craft books, maybe a course or two, and you've watched every Youtube video on writing,  but you're just not having that breakthrough you KNOW you should be having.

And you're kinda feeling a way when you see other people announce their book deals and sales. You know you're just as talented as they are. Sometimes, you even feel like...are you not special enough? Are you just that unlucky? Is being a writer just not meant for you?

Uhhh. It is ABSOLUTELY meant for you.

And I'm going to teach you how to get it done.

"Bethany is the best."

In a perfect world, we’d all be walking around with a tiny Bethany in our pockets. Bethany is a gem. In the few weeks I’ve known her, she has: helped me make the right decision in choosing an agent, helped me get unstuck with my WIP, and generally pushed me to do better in my writing career. I can go on and on about how insightful and brilliant Bethany is, but TL;DR: Bethany is the best and if you want to improve your MS you need her!”

And contrary to what the gremlins in your brain are telling you:

And contrary to what the gremlins in your brain are telling you:

You are NOT too old/too far behind.

Lies.  It is NEVER too late and you are absolutely not behind. But if you are having trouble finishing your manuscript, or you jump from idea to idea, that's nothing but an indication you need a better system for yourself so you CAN finish your book and go to the next level. It is NOT proof that you can't do it.

It's okay if you feel like you "failed".

Look, you're here. And that tells me you still BELIEVE and want to be a writer. And that's truly half the battle! You did not fail at anything. And even though it can be frustrating as hell feeling like you're always back at zero, you're not. In fact, you have two very unique gifts: perspective and grit. Combine those two things with a tried, tested, and proven system? Darling, you're golden.

It's not some crazy pie-in-the-sky wish. You CAN create the success you want.

You've got dreams for a reason. Being tagged in fan art and fan fic. Having a gorgeous cover. Plushies of your animal sidekicks! Being a speaker at a convention. They're not for nothing. These dreams exist within you because they're already MEANT FOR YOU. And now it's your responsibility to become the writer those dreams are waiting for.

YOUR PLACE TO STOP PLAYING SMALL AND RISE UP TO YOUR FULLEST POTENTIAL

Your three pillars of SUCCESS

 Storyteller. Story. Action.

Because here's the truth: you MUST take care of and fully maximize all three. Because you can have the most incredible ideas, but if you don't actually write them down, you don't make progress (action). Or you can constantly be writing, but if your books are a hot mess, then you won't break through (story). And you can be the best writer in the world but without the systems and support to actually finish, you don't achieve your dreams (storyteller).

You MUST have all three working in sync together. Your Three Pillars of Success.

This is why so many writing courses and books fails. Because they only take care of one aspect.

But with Books Before Birthday, you're getting a unique, effective, results-driven program that redefines your writing goals, gives structure to your creativity, and puts you on a path of true traction, progress, and achievements.

"Worth every penny."

Bethany talked to me about the good, the bad, the ugly, but all in ways that were digestible, encouraging, and uplifting. She gave me true guidance on what I should keep doing, and where I should take more time. Not only is she a great professional, but she's a great human being.

You can do it! Just like they did!

  • "You made me dig deeper and work harder until I got to the finish line."

  • "Bethany was amazing at calming those little whispers in your head that says you can’t do something and makes you focus on what matters: your writing and honing your own voice."

  • "I know for a fact that I would not have been able to finish as quickly or as smoothly without Bethany."

  • "I feel more hopeful than I have in a long time."
  • "Really made me rethink and challenge myself about my writing for the first time in a long time."

I’m a multi-award-winning author because of Bethany. Ten! Ten literary awards! She’s has the talent to see both the big picture and the tiniest of details. My Eco Warriors series wouldn’t be the caliber that it is without Bethany’s expertise. I’m so incredibly grateful.

"She helped me uncover what I wanted out of writing.

I cannot recommend Bethany enthusiastically enough - there aren't enough words. She brought a torch and not only helped locate the fires of my creative self, but helped fuel them. Everyone should have a Bethany in their life. You won't regret it.

Here's my truth:

I refuse to live my life mediocre. 

Here's the real talk: I know what it's like to REALLY REALLY want to be an Author - capital A. To have a fancy cover, my book in stores, a movie made from my words! I wanted people like Harlan Coben and Jude Deveraux blurbing my books!

But after years of rejection, struggle, personal hardship and just life, my confidence turned sour and my boldness shrank to a whisper. 

All of a sudden, I wasn't writing as much. I wasn't consistent as much. And I felt like I was getting left in everyone else's dust.

I refuse to live my life mediocre. 

YOUR mentor AND BIGGEST CHEERLEADER

Here's the real talk: I know what it's like to REALLY REALLY want to be an Author - capital A. To have a fancy cover, my book in stores, a movie made from my words! I wanted people like Harlan Coben and Jude Deveraux blurbing my books!

But after years of rejection, struggle, personal hardship and just life, my confidence turned sour and my boldness shrank to a whisper. 

All of a sudden, I wasn't writing as much. I wasn't consistent as much. And I felt like I was getting left in everyone else's dust.

 

 

I felt like a seed stuck in the mud while everyone else around me bloomed.

I felt like a seed stuck in the mud while everyone else around me bloomed.

And it sucked! I tried to get out of it. I bought course after course, watched Youtube video after video. 

But nothing worked. I was trapped in learning paralysis - and man, did my procrastination love that! I felt like a failure. A burnt out failure.

Because here's the truth: I didn't need more advice on how to write a book. I needed help with how to get myself to write a book. 

To get out of the learning stuck mode and into action.

When I realized that, everything changed.

Of course, I definitely still want to make sure I was writing the best I could, but what I truly needed to focus on was this:

Rebuilding my confidence, getting out of stuck mode, actually writing and FINISHING stories, and being bold and brave enough to create the career I wanted.

But I wasn't finding it in how-to courses or free Youtube videos. I wasn't finding it on my own. In fact, I was wasting even more time, getting even more agitated and frustrated, and watching another year roll by without achieving my dreams.

I didn't see this space, so I created it. No system was working for me, so I made one.

And Books Before Birthday was born. 

This system enabled me to write more than ever, get laser-focused, and always know what I was doing the next day. And of course, I shared the wealth with my coaching clients and they too saw tremendous results. 

Their output increased, their confidence skyrocketed, and they were writing and FINISHING their stories.

As for me, I'm about to launch a pen name in just a few weeks.

This system is, in real time, changing my life and outlook. And I'm so thrilled to share it with you today.

Books Before Birthday was created with a single purpose: to empower writers from all over the world so they can take their truest, realest steps toward their biggest dreams. I want writers just like you makin' money, honey! And working full time on their books and just living the life they know they're meant to be living.

I believe we have so many opportunities to share our stories, now more than ever. What we really need is the courage to dream it, believe it, and then achieve it. We need to bridge that gap from what do I do, to knowing what to do, to then doing it!

BBB is the place to transform your mindset, sharpen your skills, re-energize your ambition, and go after your most exciting goals.  

Here's where you make your life happen.

Are you ready

True guidance!

I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon Bethany and taking the plunge by booking her for a 30 page review with a 1 hour zoom call. The value of this service CANNOT be overstated, and it was worth every penny. Bethany talked to me about the good, the bad, the ugly, but all in ways that were digestible, encouraging, and uplifting. She gave me true guidance on what I should keep doing, and where I should take more time. Not only is she a great professional, but she's a great human being. I would recommend her expertise to anyone looking to polish their first pages to perfection!

It was lifechanging. I knocked my book out in three months because of it, and on my way to being agented! I’m one of your success stories.”

She brought a torch!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I cannot recommend Bethany enthusiastically enough - there aren't enough words. To say she provided coaching and dev editing for me is an understatement. She helped me uncover what I wanted out of writing. She brought a torch and not only helped locate the fires of my creative self, but helped fuel them. Her approach to digging deeper (it's not just a podcast) and building sandcastles with you confirms that her investment is real. Everyone should have a Bethany in their life, so however you can engage with her or her content, do it!! You don't regret it.

Daunting made easy

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Bethany helped me the most with the daunting revision process. The roadmaps and exercises helped with making me rethink my characters and returning to what exactly I had in mind when I started the draft. They’re a very useful tool for a high-level overview and a way to outline before starting the first draft to limit the amount of future revisions Thank you again!

Excellent!

This was my second time working with Bethany. I had an even better experience than the first because we had a Zoom call. She's excellent at what she does. We interacted. Her feedback was on point. She answered my questions. I know I will work with her again. Thank you, Bethany, for your great help.

"Bethany knows ‘story’ so well! She is there for writers (plotters and pantsers!) at any point in their process, whether it be planning, drafting or revising a novel. Her methods and materials will help them use their own writing styles to find the heart of their stories, draft scenes that are fun and that really matter, and revise a completed story to make it the best it can be.

Bethany is not only a force of positivity, but she also has a sharp eye for improvement across both the sweeping plot level and line-by-line revisions. She’s a synopsis magician and an editing master. You couldn’t ask to have a better editor in your corner!
