My Pizza Box is Smiling at Me…

...and I’m convinced it’s because of the exciting news I have to share!

When I moved away from my corporate career and launched Beth on Books, I knew I wanted to help indie authors with editing and book coaching.

Why indie authors in particular?

Simple: the joy.

An indie author’s passion for writing — and for getting your work out there — is unmatched. Obviously, traditionally published authors can love love love writing, too; a crazy, weirdly obsessive love for scribbling stories is a basic condition for putting pen to paper.

But something is lost, I think, when writing turns into contracts and deadlines, expectations and executives to answer to.

As a self-published author, you might be working hard to put food on the table with your books, but you aren’t encumbered by other people’s ideas and restraints. You aren’t toiling away because you’re contractually obligated to, or even, necessarily, because anyone has given you an official stamp of approval.

You write because you love it, and because you believe in your stories and in your characters, and I love that about you.

As a writer myself (and an active Facebook user in several writing support groups), it didn’t take me long to realize that there are a lot of aspiring and self-publishing authors out there who would really love to have the help of a professional editor or book coach, but they can’t afford it right now.

I want to make it clear that I completely support the use of a reputable professional to make sure your work is polished to a gleaming shine before making its way into readers’ hands (or onto their Kindles). Poorly edited books have a way of lowering opinions on self-publishing and ruining indie authors’ careers before they’ve even started. If you have the means, I would always, always encourage authors to find a reputable editor to work with before publishing.

But, that said, I get it.

Good editors charge accordingly — the same goes for book coaches — and not everyone has a few thousand dollars to spend on either one.

So what can I offer to those writers with low budgets and a big passion for writing?

Have you joined a group coaching group on Facebook before? I have, for both improving my relationships and meeting my personal fitness goals — and they’re fantastic.

A group coaching environment gives you the opportunity not only to work with me directly, but also to learn from observing the work I do with others in the group. Online group coaching provides exceptional value for a fraction of the cost of traditional, one-on-one coaching, plus you get to connect with an intentional author community made up of your fellow writers. A subscription-based membership to my “Write a Better Book” Program means you won’t have to deal with random bots, scammers, or weirdos from the far-flung corners of the Internet. Every single person in our Facebook group will be there for the right reasons: to learn and support each other.

Join me as I build a supportive community of your fellow writers and share what I’ve learned about books, writing and editing at a fraction of the cost of traditional coaching.

I’m pulling together plans and materials as as we speak, and then I’ll be ready to launch my first intake of members into the group! Until then, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect.
