Welcome to BTC

(a.k.a. Beyond the Chapter).

A small but mighty corner of the internet where writers with big dreams and messy drafts come to make magic (or at least fewer plot holes).

Maybe you’ve just started writing. Maybe you’ve stopped five times already. Maybe you’re halfway through a novel and Googling “how to write a good book without crying.” You’re in the right place.

Here, we talk writing, editing, publishing, and the chaos in between. Expect practical tips, gentle truths, unflinching pep talks, and the occasional bad metaphor involving gremlins, Greek myths, or both.

Because writing is hard, but you’re not alone. And you can get better at it, with a bit of support, a lot of coffee, and just enough reckless confidence to hit “send.”

Let’s get your words out of your head and onto the page—where they belong.

Need a second pair of eyes on your story?

Whether you’re polishing your prose or wondering if your plot makes sense (or needs fire), I’ve got you. Get clear, kind feedback with manuscript assessments, copy-editing, or proofreading, whatever your draft needs to shine a little brighter.
