FAQ
What is the difference between your three live writing immersions River of Words, Ink + Flame and Life + Time? Great question! All three are deep dive writing immersions which can be taken in any order. Indeed, if you sign up for all three, you will be setting yourself up for an incredible year of writing. The main difference is that River of Words is available instantly as a self-paced course (without a dedicated community). In addition, there is a different thread running through each class as follows:
- Ink + Flame (which will run live from January 2026) has a bonus thread focused on growing your audience specifically for Substack (or your blog or other self-publishing channel)
- Life + Time (which will run live from September 2026) has a bonus thread focused on monetising your writing and building a sustainable, satisfying creative career
- River of Words (which is self-paced and available anytime) has a bonus thread focused on platform building (i.e. building an audience for your writing, regardless of channel)
All three are structured in a similar way, with an initial lesson and spilling invitation on the Monday, a further lesson and shaping (editing) exercise on the Wednesday, and then an invitation to share on the Friday. In the case of River of Words, which is a self-paced class, these days are simply a guideline. The class includes three different suggested schedules depending on your ideal pace for completing the class. Please note that although there are no ‘live’ writing circles for this self-paced edition of River of Words, you will have access to a vault of recordings from the last time the class was run live, which offers seven juicy two-hour circles to enjoy.
I am a beginner writer. Is this class for me? All are welcome, regardless of level. If you are at the beginning of your writing journey, you have the benefit of a clean slate and the opportunity to build exactly the kind of writing career you want. If you have some experience, you have a foundation to build on. Both are great. The class exercises will challenge and stretch you in the best of ways, whatever level of writing experience you have.
How much time will the class take? It is hard to say because it really depends on how much time and attention you can give it! If you are able to commit 4-6 hours per week of the class you will see a significant shift in your writing. Of course you do not have to complete the class within seven weeks, even though it is designed that way. The class includes three different suggested schedules to help you pace yourself, depending on your circumstances.
Can I pay in instalments? Sorry no, as this is an instant access class, instalment payments are not an option unless purchased as part of a bundle which includes live classes.
Is there a dedicated community for this class? No, this is a self-paced class designed for independent work. If you want to be part of a private writing community we recommend you consider joining Beth’s SoulCircle (on Substack) or participate in one of the live writing immersions, Ink + Flame and/or Life + Time.
How long will I have access to the classroom? If you register for River of Words now, you will have access to all the content until October 31, 2027, so you will have plenty of time to complete everything. (Please note we do not offer lifetime access for any of our classes.)
Register now for River of Words and secure your place in this rich writing experience. You will spill thousands of words and it will change the course of your writing life.
