The Writer's Map

Your most straight-forward, step-by-step, breakthrough experience that gives you the insights, directions and processes to write (and finish!) your best stories. No more second-guessing. No more wasting time. No more watching others pass you by. It's your turn.

For the talented writer who's just stuck.

You've been trying so hard. You know you can write. You know you have amazing ideas and damn, you love them! Your drafts are clean and you 1000% know the difference between worldbuilding and setting. But you're just not finishing. You're not producing what you know you can produce. You're not getting the attention/downloads/swoons from readers that you're craving.

Here's the secret: it's not your fault.
You are just soooo beyond basic advice. You have outgrown it. 

You need help that's sharper, deeper, and asks more of you as an author, so then you can gain the traction and progress you're hungry for. So then you can finish your book and get out of the No Man's Land of constant drafting → guessing → rejections → back to the drawing board → drafting → guessing → rejections → back to the drawing board.

That is so exhausting! And it's how great writers waste their lives.
This will not happen to you.

Because you know you're meant for more than that. You're meant for a clear map that'll guide you out of the chaos and to a place where you can write waaaay more consistently, finish stories that pack so much more punch, and move to your next level.

Demi's results:

"I cut a lot, really tightened the plot and an agent read my book in three days and offered rep!"

Aimee's results:

"I couldn’t write at all. It was making me so miserable. And then your course came along...and I could write again after that. Completely changed the way I would write forever."

Mattea's results:

"It was the first time it felt like I had nailed character in the draft and didn’t need to go back and try to reconstruct or make it feel deeper."

It was lifechanging.

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!

Time to realize your books' (and your) fullest potential.

time to shine.

Here's what you get.

The Writer's Map is all about igniting your creativity, not caging it. Making it infinitely better, not boxing it in. And that's why you won't find a fill-in-the-blank template or you-can-only-do-it-this-way process in sight. Instead, TWM is built on radically questioning and digging deeper with your story. And in that powerful excavation, you find the answers you've been needing to make yourself and your books stronger and better than ever.

as part of the program, you'll learn:

Transformative Core Curriculum

This is the five module, powerhouse system that shows you how to take your best ideas and current WIPs and see them with fresh new eyes, so you can go beyond the typical writing advice and actually make real improvements to your story, exponentially increasing its odds of success. 

Some of the things covered are:

  • Module One: Get back on track with your story, especially if you've been out in the weeds with it for a while, or have gotten a bunch of rejections, or have just taken a long break from your story. This is where you'll lock in and get back on track.
  • Module Two:  This is where you'll really question and re-vision and get rid of the crap that's actually holding your WIP back from being a great story. We're using major tools and processes to ensure your characters work and your plot is firing.
  • Module Three: Scene work. Pacing. Side plots. Romance. Action. Dialogue. Here's where you really get down to the nuts and bolts of your story and not just make sure they're working, but they actually all matter and add up to the awesome reader experience that you want your fans to go through.
  •  Module Four: And now you get to the reaaally juicy stuff. The invisible elements that can either sink your story or turn it into someone's obsession. We're examing all the stuff happening between the beats and under the surface so your story is a cohesive, escalating, tension-fueled escape.
  • Module Five: And finally, we're tying everything together and turbocharging what you've learned. Here's where you discover the secrets to blockbuster pacing, critical reframes, and pointed, strategic next level questions that'll have you thinking like a pro.

"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.

“Her feedback is smart, thoughtful and always helps make for a better book. I highly recommend Bethany’s service to authors in need of an extra set of eagle eyes attached to a very astute mind.” 

– tiffany reisz, bestselling author of the original sinners series

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’ve spent over $1,000 on a professional editor for one of my books, and her input was nowhere near as helpful as Bethany’s. 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!”

Jesse Sutanto, bestelling author of Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers series

“Bethany truly cares about writers. She wants to make the manuscript better but she also wants to make the writer better. Which is what she’s shown me to do in my editing. 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.”

– yasmin angoe, bestselling author of her name is knight series

“When I needed her most, Bethany came to my rescue with succinct edits and a can-do attitude. Her suggestions were thoughtful, insightful, and made my work shine in a way I never would have been able to do on my own.”

Anthony Nerada, YA author repped by the Deborah Harris Agency

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.”

Catherine Bakewell, YA and MG author repped by New Leaf Literary and Media, Inc.

It is so rare to work with someone who appreciates the subtle nuance of different beliefs and cultures. Bethany worked with mine to elevate the story and characters. I wouldn’t trust anyone else, hands down.”

George Jreije, MG author repped by Azantian Literary

Who this is and isn't for.

  • Yes: if you know in your bones your story is good, the premise is good, YOU are good, you just need a bit more help to make the story shine.
  • Yes: if you feel like you’re drowning in feedback from beta readers, editors, and critique partners, but no one is telling you exactly how to fix your book.
  • Yes: if you know something isn’t working in your story, but you can’t figure out what or how to fix it without making everything worse.
  • Yes: if you’ve dreamed of holding your book in your hands, flipping through the pages, and knowing you finally finished it.

A’s to your Q’s

Grandmama, it's me. Anastasia.

Okay, sorry. Just couldn't resist for all my Anastasia fans. :) But I'm Bethany and I'll be leading you through the Writer's Map, my signature course that I created over the last seventeen years of working with authors just like you. I'm a book coach, editor and writer and I've had the real honor of editing hundreds of manuscripts and working with hundreds of authors on their stories, creativity, and reaching their dreams. 

Which is why I'm so, so pumped to bring you this course. What you'll learn inside is NOT theory. It's not cliche. It's not the same ol' same ol' that you've heard a billion times and honestly, you're still not sure what it means. 

Instead, you'll get almost two decades of experience, of seeing manuscripts go from just clouds of ideas to actual stories that you can proudly purchase. Of helping writers get out of their own way to achieve more than they thought possible.

I can't wait to personally welcome you into the Writer's Map. We're going to have a blast!
