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.

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.
