What It Really Takes to Get a Book Deal in 2026: A free live webinar on Tuesday, July 28
You’ve probably wondered whether now is still the right time to write a book.
It is. But the rules have changed.
Publishing isn’t harder than it used to be—it’s more discerning. Agents are taking on fewer projects. Editors are looking for sharper ideas, stronger positioning, and authors with a clear point of view. The books that break through aren’t necessarily written by the biggest experts. They’re written by the people who understand how to shape an idea into something the market actually wants.
That’s what this webinar is about.
Not hype. Not vague inspiration. Not “write your book in a weekend.”
Just an honest look at what publishing looks like today, what makes a project worth pursuing, and how to know whether your idea has real potential.
I’ve spent my career helping people tell stories that matter. I’ve written two books, developed dozens of nonfiction book proposals, worked with bestselling authors, founders, executives, journalists, and first-time writers, and helped shape ideas into projects that get agents’ attention.
This session is everything I wish more aspiring authors knew before they spent months writing the wrong thing.
In this free 45-minute webinar, you’ll learn:
What agents and editors are actually looking for in 2026.
Whether your idea is a book—or needs more work before it becomes one.
The six pieces every successful proposal needs.
What makes one proposal stand out while another gets ignored.
How platform really works (and what counts).
Where new writing tools fit—and where your own voice matters most.
The biggest mistakes I see authors make before they ever query an agent.
Whether you’re writing nonfiction, exploring a memoir, or beginning to think seriously about fiction, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where your project stands—and what your next step should be.
You’ll also get exclusive access.
Everyone who attends will receive:
First access to enroll in my September Book Proposal Intensive, a live four-week workshop with limited enrollment.
Exclusive bonuses and materials reserved for webinar attendees.
Early access to resources that won’t be available publicly.
The opportunity to continue working with me through live planning sessions and one-on-one consulting for nonfiction, fiction, and book development.
If you’ve been waiting for “the right time” to finally pursue your book, this is where to start.
Tuesday, July 28
Free • Live • 45 Minutes
Come with an idea, a notebook, or just your curiosity.
You’ll leave knowing what comes next.
