Get Your Nonfiction Query Critiqued By Me

[image error]




Next week, I'm
teaching an online class on landing a nonfiction book deal. The registration fee
($79) includes a critique of your query letter or hook, up to 300 words.



If you're ready to pitch your project or send out a proposal package, this is an excellent
opportunity to find out how an industry professional would evaluate your work. I point
out red flags in hooks/queries, how to express your platform convincingly, and what
factors really matter to getting a book deal.



A past attendee said of this session:

It was chock-full of useful info for aspiring nonfiction
writers. … All of the information was at a level of directness. It was very powerful.

What else will you learn?



Learn the basics of nonfiction book proposal writing—smart authors never write the
book first, they always write a proposal.

Why self-help/memoir hybrid works almost always get rejected.

The types of memoirs that can and do sell today.

How a book proposal needs to be approached like a business plan to be successful.

Why the marketability of your idea (or the strength of your platform) is more important
than the quality of your writing.

I also leave time for Q&A; any questions not answered during the live session
receive a follow-up in writing. Go ahead—try and stump me. If you have questions about
your project that you can't find the answers to, I can help.



Hope to see you there. Click
