Writers are like athletes; training, coaching, more training, more coaching, and the occasional hurdle as we improve our skill and step up to the next level.
Coaches help solve the problems their clients can’t figure out on their own because coaches have years of experience and live to share it.
Ezra and I have written and edited many, many novels, each others’, and our own and as part of that journey we have jumped many hurdles. It’s the reason I (Beth) created the Group Coaching Program.
You may have questions: Where do I begin with editing my novel? What do I do with the feedback I’ve received on my manuscript? How do I handle this huge thing I’ve written?
You are not alone! We’ve been there.
One of the best lessons I've learned over the years is on mindset.
Your mindset can help you find your way through the process of editing, helping you to make it your own, to face the difficult emotions editing might reveal, and to develop compassion for yourself in the process.
While mindset is not the only factor in our success as writers, it is a part, so let's consider it here. (Other factors may be: how we define success; our life experience; emotional intelligence; personality traits; environmental and social factors.)
According to Carol Dweck, there are two kinds of mindset: a Fixed Mindset or a Growth Mindset. People with a Fixed mindset compare themselves to a perfect future they can never attain, and therefore find that they always fall short. People with a Growth Mindset know they can grow and change with focus, diligence, and hard work.
No matter where you are today, the Author Group Coaching Program may help you build or strengthen a growth mindset and tackle those questions that have been plaguing you.
Is 2022 the year you will go from wanting to revise and polish your novel to actually doing this work, so you can be ready to live your dream of actually publishing it?

"Beth & Ezra are inspiring and amazing coaches. They are able to "zoom in" on an individual writer's blocks, at the same time providing a group process that allows everyone in their classes to benefit. Beth's ability to support and gently challenge her authors is wonderful and led me -- as I'm sure it has led many others -- to uncover layers of character motivation that I had not been aware of in my novel. I highly recommend Beth & Ezra's coaching workshops!" -- Rachael Pruitt
