Testimonials:
Beth is an excellent and attentive mentor who pushed me to succeed and helped me actualize my writing potential. I have wanted to be a writer for a long time but have lacked the formal education in writing Op Ed’s or the knowledge of how to navigate the religion publication online industry, and Beth seamlessly guided me in both. I was able to get a piece I am very proud of published, and I could not have done it without Beth’s support. I highly recommend working with Beth— she will push you to find your own authentic writing voice that conveys a strong message. Talya Gordon, Va’Tichtov student 2025.
