Land a Book Deal

Book Proposal Development

Your big book dream is right around the corner!

I'm a Wall Street Journal Bestselling ghostwriter.

I’ve worked with celebrities, thought leaders and executives to develop killer book proposals.

These monster documents send people kicking and screaming, but I love them.

Fresh book proposals are key to a better book advance. And most importantly...a better book.

Together, we’ll get your voice, big ideas, and unique point of view on the page.

If you’re serious about getting a book deal, I’m seriously excited to support you.

Ways to work together:

Book Proposal VIP Half-Day Workshop

From refining your idea so it’s fresh and differentiated, to strategizing your author platform, we’ll work through each key piece of your proposal so it stands out. At the end of our time together you'll have an overview of your sellable idea, directions for each section and your table of contents.
