This is the highest-touch way to build your proposal short of hiring me privately (which costs five figures — this is the smart way in). Over four live weeks we shape, pressure-test, and strengthen your proposal with the same frameworks I use with private clients: live hot-seat edits, my personal review of your overview — the page that decides everything — a private 1:1 strategy hour, and a small, curated group of serious peers.
Starts Tuesday, September 8 — the first real desk day of fall. Enrollment closes Labor Day. I don't currently have plans to run the live program again this year.
Each week includes:
Live teaching and discussion sessions
Open Q&A on publishing, agents, editors, and positioning, as well as your specific projects and next steps
Live proposal reviews, editing, and feedback
Weekly coworking sessions to make real progress
Opportunity to see other proposals being shaped and refined
Strategic guidance on approaching agents and positioning your work
Structured worksheets and materials
This is not just a curriculum. The core value is live access, feedback, and momentum.
Four weeks of live programming, teaching, and Q&A
Live proposal reviews and group editing
Weekly co-working sessions
One-on-one sessions (as included in your cohort tier)
All worksheets and materials, plus session recordings
High-level peer networking within a small, curated group
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
This cohort is for you if you want live feedback, accountability, and direct access to insider publishing insight. If you learn best through discussion and interaction, want momentum and structure, and peer connection, and you're serious about finishing and positioning a proposal.
