Testimonials
It was only with Betsy's guidance and encouragement that I was able to finally finish my book and, more importantly, build the confidence I needed to see myself as a "real" writer. Her sharp insight and clarity of vision for all of our collaborative projects have been invaluable and I wouldn't have reached the success milestones I cherish so much without her.
— Alex ZaleskiBetsy is a wonderful teacher! She prioritises the joy of writing, and the playfulness of creativity and imagination, while simultaneously providing tools to maintain a productive (and fun!) writing practice — even in the midst of everyday chaos.
— Surnaí MolloyThis manuscript has been in development for a number of years and is in its 5th draft. I was struggling with a number of aspects and sought her help. Her response far exceeded my expectations. She dealt with structure, narrator and character issues and made recommendations which I found constructive, comprehensive, insightful and practical. I am re-energised to get on with the next draft in the certainty that it will be all the better as a result of her input.
