How to Write a Book Proposal | March 2026 Program

$6,500.00

Live One-Month Cohort

A high-touch, live program for writers who want expert guidance, real feedback, and direct access to the publishing world while building a serious, saleable book proposal.

This is the full version of So You Want to Write a Book Proposal, designed for writers who want accountability, interaction, and the benefit of learning in real time with a curated group.

Over four weeks, we work together live to shape, pressure-test, and strengthen your proposal using the same framework I use with private clients.

How it works

This program runs as a live, cohort-based experience.

Each week includes:

  • Live teaching and discussion sessions

  • Open Q&A on publishing, agents, editors, and positioning

  • Live proposal reviews and group feedback

  • Weekly coworking sessions to make real progress

You will receive structured worksheets and materials, but the core value is live access, feedback, and momentum.

What makes this different

This is not just a curriculum. It is access.

You will:

  • Hear my candid, insider perspective on how publishing actually works

  • Ask specific questions about your project and next steps

  • Share work for live editing and real-time feedback

  • Learn by watching other proposals being shaped and refined

  • Get strategic guidance on approaching agents and positioning your work

What is included

  • Four weeks of live programming

  • Weekly live teaching and Q&A

  • Live proposal reviews and group editing

  • Weekly coworking sessions

  • One-on-one sessions (as included in your cohort tier)

  • All worksheets and program materials

  • Access to session recordings

  • High-level peer networking within a small, curated group

What you will build

By the end of the cohort, you will have:

  • A clear, compelling book concept

  • A polished proposal overview

  • Defined audience and market positioning

  • A strong chapter-by-chapter outline

  • Strategic clarity on next steps with agents and submissions

Investment
