You have a fantastic idea for a non-fiction book. You know you could do a brilliant job writing it. You know there are thousands of people out there who would benefit from reading it. You know it could be a best-seller of Oprah-worthy proportions.

The trouble is convincing an agent.

I’ve been there. Even after 20 years in the writing and editing industry, I still choked up the first time I had to write a proposal for my book. I fretted and worried and procrastinated and studied – and I got my book No One’s the Bitch: A Ten-Step Plan for Mothers and Stepmothers on the best-seller list my first week out.

You can get your book there, too.

This isn’t a simple “how to write a proposal” session. You can find that information anywhere. This is an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at exactly what you need to do to get your book developed and in an agent’s hands – even on that bestseller list.

You’ll learn how to pitch your book so that editors and writers alike clamor to buy it. You’ll learn how to develop a market for your book before it even hits the shelves, so that you’ll have eager buyers ready when it’s released in stores. You’ll learn how to land an agent, how to get the contract you want, how to impress an editor, and how to position your book for the best possible success when it launches.

You’ll also learn how to get rid of every writer’s worst demon: procrastination.

By the time we’re done working together, you’ll have a brilliant proposal and all the tools you need to get that book signed by an agent, written from start to finish, and published to the sound of huge applause.

Sound good? Choose the level of help you need and let’s get started today. That book isn’t going to publish itself – don’t you think you’ve waited long enough?

If you’d like to work with me but aren’t sure we’re a good fit, please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you may have. I’m sure I can help you – but of course I want you to be sure, too.

Emergency Proposal Brainstorming Session

You know that you need to write a proposal. You know the only way to get started is to pick up the pen and write. You know that it’s going to take many drafts before you get to the perfect one.

But you just can’t seem to get started. You don’t know where to begin, you don’t know what to say. You wish someone could just tell you what the best things about your book are so you could write them all down and wow the pants off an agent.

No problem.

The Emergency Proposal Brainstorming Session is designed to do just that – get an expert’s eye on your book and teach you how to make it shine. It blasts through procrastination, writer’s block, and any other doubts that hold you back, and it’ll get you to that final draft in no time at all.

All it takes is one hour with me on the phone. Get out of that rut right now for only $95.

Proposal Review and Edit

If you’ve already written your proposal but aren’t sure and certain it’s impressive enough to catch the eyes of an agent, the Proposal Review and Edit package is the right option for you. It includes:

• A three-hour review of your proposal, including my detailed notes on what needs to improve and how to improve it.

Don’t let that book sit around waiting for you to do something for another moment. By the time we’re done with your proposal, it’ll practically shine like a star among those other mediocre ones the agent sifts through every day.

When she comes across your proposal, she’ll know she’s found a winner.
