DON'T WASTE ANOTHER YEAR. START RIGHT NOW →
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 effort. 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'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.

Here's what you'll do:

  • Step One: Learn the Books Before Birthday Method so you can get rid of aaaaalll the junk that's been tripping you up and holding you back. You're going to release the fears, sabotages, and doubts that have kept you frozen.
  • Step Two: Become part of The Glow Up Rebellion and go far, far, far beyond where you normally quit. That box of hustle, grind, start/stop, comparison, second-guessing? You're exploding out of that sh!t right now.
  • Step Three: Get back on track with your creativity using The Story Compass and write The Best Damn Book You've Ever Written. And then you're going to write an absolutely 🔥🔥🔥  query/cover copy and pitch, perfect for any contest.
  • Step Four: Rejoice and celebrate your momentum, traction and progress. You did what you said you'd do. 

"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:

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.

“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!

"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.

Vanessa Fowler, Author

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've won ten book awards.

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. 

- Carolyn Armstrong, ️Gold Recipient of Mom’s Choice Awards for AT THE EDGE OF THE ICE

"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.

Sam Schreiber, author of The Forgotten Atnama series

It's time to take bold action and go after your dreams.

A’s to your Q’s

ON THE FENCE ABOUT JOINING?

I know you may have tried a ton in the past.

But here's the difference. You know you're talented. You just need help getting the stories out and done. And that's the singular focus of this Books Before Birthday: helping you break past where you feel like you can't. Whether you can't go from outlining to actually writing, or you can't get past the middle of your book without quitting, Books Before Birthdeay encourages and SHOWS you how to move to the next level you've been craving. That's the biggest difference between BBB and everything else. It's not just showing you how to write, it's teaching you how to be a better writer, one who can rise to the level of their dreams and meet them.

You've got so many stories in your heart and time is marching on. It's not waiting.

And neither should you. So please say yes to yourself. To not letting another year go by without really, honest to God going for it. Get off the merry-go-round and let's actually go the distance. You deserve it.

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.

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

what will you do before your next birthday?

This is your invitation to draw a line in the sand and make this time better.

Because you are good enough. You are ready. And with the right tools and support, you can find the time.

Publishing has never been more accessible, and your book deserves to be in readers’ hands. Let’s make it happen.

Starting today.
