I’ve developed dozens of book proposals that sold. Private clients pay five figures for that process one-on-one. This program is that same thinking — the frameworks, the insider knowledge, the taste — packaged so you can run it yourself, for a fraction of the price.
The program consists of a 100+ page Proposal Workbook delivered as a usable digital document, built so that finishing the workbook means your proposal is drafted. Everything you need is built right in — links to corresponding video lessons, my Red Pen self-edit checklists, and the Publishing Insider 101 one-pagers. I’ll also send you quarterly State of the Market updates.
