Welcome! This space is for fiction writers who are serious about finishing their books—and want a little real talk (plus a few hard-won shortcuts) along the way.

I’m Beth McMullen—novelist, Author Accelerator-certified book coach, and someone who knows firsthand how chaotic the writing and publishing process can be. I work with writers who are ready to move from “I have this idea…” to “I just hit send on my finished manuscript.”

Whether you're stuck in the middle, overwhelmed by your outline, or wondering if your story even makes sense anymore, this newsletter is here to help. I’ll share craft tips, coaching insights, and behind-the-scenes lessons from my own publishing journey—everything you need to move your story forward without getting lost in the weeds.

If you’re looking for personalized, one-on-one support to finally get your book done, my coaching services are just a click away.

Oh—and I also co-host Writers With Wrinkles, a podcast about the wild world of writing and publishing. But this is where we get more personal.

Let’s get your book finished.
