Courses & Offerings

Ready to write your first book, find your voice, or learn to advocate for your work? Below you’ll find Meredith’s current range of courses, webinars, workshops, and 1:1 sessions.

Meredith’s bestselling book Brag Better: Master the Art of Fearless Self-Promotion, put her framework for strategic self-promotion on the map — and nearly two decades of experience in communications, PR, and publishing have made her one of the most sought-after voices in the industry. She’s written dozens of book proposals for clients, guided writers from first draft to deal, and specializes in non-fiction and non-traditional voices finding their way into major publishing houses.

Beyond 1:1 consulting on book proposals and the publishing landscape, Meredith occasionally collaborates on full books and manuscripts. She also maintains a trusted network of ghostwriters and editors she recommends and works with closely. She is a frequent speaker for brands, companies, and events, and creates custom workshops — from focused exercises to full breakouts — tailored to what each client actually needs.

How to Write a Book Proposal | Self-Guided Course

Self-Guided One-Month Program

A structured, expert-designed path to a market-ready book proposal. On your time, with clear weekly guidance.

This self-guided version of my live one-month cohort is designed for writers who want professional structure and momentum without live sessions or group accountability.

Over four weeks, you will work through the same core framework I use with private clients and cohort students to develop strong, saleable nonfiction book proposals.

How it works

This program runs in monthly cycles.

During the month the program is active, you will receive:

  • Weekly worksheets and prompts, released each Monday

  • Pre-recorded instructional videos tied to that week’s work

  • Clear deliverables that build toward a complete proposal

You work independently, on your own schedule, within the structure of that month.

Access timeline

  • Materials are released during the month the program is available

  • Video access remains open for six months from the start of the program

  • Worksheets are yours to download and keep

This structure allows you to work at your own pace while still benefiting from a defined timeline.

What you will build

By the end of the program, you will have:

  • A clear, compelling book concept

  • A polished proposal overview and positioning

  • Defined audience and market framing

  • A full chapter outline

  • A strong understanding of how your proposal fits into the publishing landscape

What is included

  • Four weeks of guided curriculum

  • Weekly worksheets and prompts

  • Pre-recorded video instruction

What is not included

These elements are intentionally excluded to keep the program flexible and focused.

Optional add-ons

Available as à la carte upgrades:

  • 1:1 coaching sessions

  • Proposal reviews

You can add support at any point during or after the program.

This program is a good fit if you:

  • Want a serious, structured approach to writing a book proposal

1:1 Coaching Session | 1 Hour

60-Minute Session with Meredith

After your purchase, we’ll be in touch to set up a time for the session.

During these sessions we can discuss anything you’d like, including:

  • Book Ideation: What is a book? That sounds ridiculous, but what does it mean to write one? What story do you have to tell? And how should you begin to think about telling it?

  • How to Write a Proposal: A nonfiction book proposal is a very specific document, and I will walk you through how to write it. This document has to be formulated to get and retain eyeballs for funding your idea.

  • How to Get an Agent: How do you approach an agent? When should you approach an agent?

  • How to Pitch a Book: Pitching anyone on your idea can be overwhelming. How should you frame it? 

  • How to Promote a Book: Independent book press is necessary. Publishing houses aren’t concerned you can write a book; they are concerned you can sell it.
