Let’s get you published!

That’s what I’m here for

Book proposals are the true gatekeepers of publishing. I’m kidding (kinda), but other than your book itself, understanding how to put together a proper proposal when querying agents is the most important step to getting published.

Book proposals are typically for authors who have a non-fiction book idea. A memoir, an autobiography, or a self-help book are the common genres. Fiction books rely more on queries, which is a section of the book proposal. However, there are benefits to developing a full book proposal whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction.

If you have a book idea and are serious about securing an agent and getting published, sign up for my book proposal Master Class. My team and I will coach you step by step to make sure you write a proposal that gives you the best chance at securing an agent and getting published. And because we’re a small team, we’re only taking the first 10 people.

How does this class work?

Once your proposal is complete, we will be open for “office hours.” These are one-one-one conversations to answer any lingering questions you may have.

Some things to keep in mind:

If you have a non-fiction book idea, you DO NOT need a completed manuscript to submit your book proposal to an agent.If you have an idea for a fiction book, your manuscript must be completed before submitting to agents. However, you can still get started on your query once you’ve completed at least one draft.We will be starting the Masterclass at the beginning of June.

If you’re ready to secure an agent and give yourself a chance to be published, this Masterclass is for you. All you need is your book idea and we’ll help you through the rest.

Sign up here and let’s get started.
