GETTING STARTED

Writing a book can be lonely, but you don’t have to be.

Whether you join a workshop, the book proposal accelerator, or 1:1 coaching, working with other bookish women will give you the support you and your book need—and deserve.

Choose your own BOOKish adventure

  • Workshops

    You know you have a story, but you’re not quite sure if it’s a book. You keep hearing about needing an author platform, but you’re not sure what it means. Your writing could use some expert help. Workshops are a low-stakes way to get your book party started!

  • BOOKish Proposal Accelerator

    You’re ready to get serious about writing your nonfiction book proposal, and you don’t want to do it alone. Start here. This accelerator includes an exclusive proposal template, five months of virtual coaching circles, an accountability partner, and a live retreat in my home in the Catskills 🌲

  • 1:1 Coaching

    Calling all authors, thought leaders, executives and founders: are you read to claim your author-ity? Whether you’re looking for short-term support for your nonfiction book proposal or monthly mentorship for bigger projects, I’d love to hear all about it. Apply below by setting up a 15-minute discovery call.

Client Testimonial

Sue Marriott LCSW GGP portrait

“Bethany Saltman is a dream-maker. From fleshing out the idea, working on the proposal, managing our anxiety in the process and eventually connecting us with a literary agent she has delivered beyond expectations. With her help and guidance, we now have a book deal through Harper! We have appreciated Bethany so much we are seeking to continue working with her on this and other writing projects. She is professional, quick, calm and calming, but mostly she's an excellent editor, writer, and book midwife.”
