Hi there.
Whether you're writing a book, launching a campaign, or building an audience,
you're putting your voice out there.
And I'm here to help.
HONED is a boutique writing company
partnering with writers and thinkers
to turn brilliant ideas into polished prose.
I'm Beth, and I've spent nearly two decades studying great writing, teaching developing writers, and writing on-brand content for schools and small businesses.
Here's what I've discovered:
You don't need an MFA or an English degree to produce excellent written material that inspires and connects. You just need a trusted partner who understands your voice, your audience, and the ins and outs of writing.
And here's the best part: Working with a professional word nerd makes the entire writing process way less lonely and way more fun.
I launched HONED because I value good people and great writing. No matter where you are in the process, I promise that together,
we can hone your story into the very best version of itself.
