Develop and create a book proposal
so compelling that agents and editors
can't help but say YES!
Book Proposal Development
Everyone tells you: "You should write a book!"
So let's get it out of your head and onto the page.
You have an amazing story to tell.
And you know your subject matter better than anyone.
Maybe it's your personal experience. Or a method you've tested and perfected.
Either way, your wisdom and expertise would help and inspire countless others.
So why haven't you written it yet?
Creating a book is intimidating.
You don't know where to start.
You struggle to map out the process. To define — and complete — manageable chunks.
To organize and plan your material.
You can tell your story well, but you aren't confident that you're writing with clarity.
Before you write your book, you need to write your book proposal.
The Book Proposal Blueprint
Show agents and publishers why your story matters — and why you’re the perfect one to tell it!
The center of your vision board is a book with your name on the cover. Personal accomplishment and pride married with tangible social proof of your credibility and expertise.
But if landing a traditional publishing contract is your dream scenario,
you must first write a book proposal.
The proposal is a big document — 50 pages or more! — with a lot riding on it.
No traditional royalty-based publisher will consider acquiring a book without first reading a proposal.
Why?
Proposals exist to “sell” your book to publishers or agents.
They thoroughly explain your idea, position the book for a target audience, and establish your clear authority.
And once your proposal is polished and perfect, your book will practically write itself!
If only you had an expert to guide you through the process and be with you every step of the way...
A collaborative partner to provide editorial support and accountability...
A veteran editor with a keen eye for clear, compelling, engaging writing...
Someone who ensures your words get you the best possible chance for that publishing contract you're dreaming of...
With my bespoke, one on one, 16-week coaching package designed just for you, we'll develop your compelling submission materials: your pitch/query, outline, and complete book proposal.
In the program, you'll receive hands-on, comprehensive help with planning, writing, and editing. You'll be equipped to submit a polished proposal to agents or editors — AND have a solid plan for promoting your book once it's under contract.
How it works:
We'll start with a discovery call to clarify your book idea/project needs and determine if we're the perfect fit for each other.
Should we decide to work together, we'll schedule a focused one-hour 1:1 clarity call. On this call, we'll develop and fine-tune your specific blueprint and map goals with monthly milestones and assignments/plans of action/deliverables.
This blueprint, which you will receive in writing within ten days for approval and signature, will serve as our SOW and contract.
Over the 16 weeks of the program, we'll work together to develop all sections of your proposal, including:
- The Overview
- Target Audience
- Competitive Titles/Market Analysis
- Author Bio
- Chapter Outline/ Annotated Table of Contents
- Sample Chapter(s)
- Marketing and Promotion Plan
You can expect:
- Three (3) one hour Zoom calls (roughly one each month on your schedule) to review progress, set goals and strategy, discuss edits, and receive focused support on your project, PLUS the one hour clarity call, PLUS a project wrap-up call
- Extensive, personalized feedback and written editorial notes directly from me within 7 days on all submitted assignments (by email)
- Project management with clear, doable steps; accountability to keep the writing on task; motivation and support for your project at every stage
- 24/7 email access for quick/urgent questions and concerns; response provided within 72 hours
BONUSES! Because you will also need to write a 1-page pitch/query, we'll work together to develop and refine this piece of your submission package. PLUS I'll assist you in identifying agents or publishers in your niche who are open to submissions.
