I ASKED PUBLISHERS WHAT MAKES THEM SAY “YES." (AND THEY TOLD ME!)
Writing over 50 books and working with publishers on 100’s of major publishing projects, I’m dishing about what sells.
Even if you don't have millions of followers, you’ll know exactly how to dazzle a publisher by nailing your book proposal.
You need this if...
☹️ You want to avoid errors other writers are making
☹️ You understand publishing is competitive and you want every advantage
☹️ You don’t want a publisher to stop reading
☹️ You’re tired of spinning your wheels and not moving forward
☹️ You’ve been bullied by the thought, “Who am I to write a book?”
☹️ You don’t want to go to the grave not having made this happen!
This moment is your opportunity.
THERE'S NO REASON THAT YOU WOULD KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.
I’ve seen enough bad book proposals to know that—even when writers try their best—if they don't know how publishers think, they'll struggle to deliver what publishers want. (Of course.)
Publishers want two things: to serve readers and to sell books.
Your proposal has to convince them that you can do both. (And it can!)
WHEN YOU DELIVER THE 3 THINGS PUBLISHERS WANT, YOU HELP THEM SAY “YES”
HERE’S HOW THE "BLUE PROPOSAL BLUEPRINT" OFFER WILL EQUIP YOU TO GET A BOOK CONTRACT
THE OFFER INCLUDES
6 Robust Teaching Modules that reveal what 3 things publishers have to see and how to deliver them ($1997 value)

🤫 SHHHH…I’M SHARING INDUSTRY INSIGHTS!
Publishers can't say "yes" to every project they're offered--even ones they love. The reality is that they have to pick and choose.
When I pitched my first book, I had no idea what publishers needed to say to say “yes.” (I was guessing!)
I didn’t have a degree in English. I didn’t have a zillion followers.
But today—50 books later, 2 New York Times bestsellers, and working with publishers on hundreds of major publishing projects as writer, editor, and coach—I have figured out what they need to see to say “yes.’
Okay, I just heard it. That made it sound like I’m a genius. (Not.) I actually asked the gatekeepers—agents and publishers—what makes them say “yes” and what makes them say “no.”
And now I'm dishing about all of it.

READY FOR PUBLISHERS TO FIGHT TO ACQUIRE YOUR BOOK?
👋🏽 I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
✋🏾 Do I need to have my whole book written?
If you’re writing nonfiction, you actually don’t need to offer a publisher your entire manuscript. Just a few chapters. (Doable.)
🤚🏼 If I get a literary agent, won’t they pitch the book to a publisher? Do I even need this?
I actually do suggest that most of my clients seek representation by a literary agent. But here’s the thing: if you want to woo a literary agent, they actually need to see the same stellar book proposal that a publisher will need. (So a strong proposal does double duty!)
🖐🏿 Should I buy this if I write fiction?
Nope.
👋🏽 I’m not expecting to land a contract with a Big 5 publishing house. Do I need this?
Yes, what you’ll learn in this bundle is going to help you whether you’re pitching an agent who’ll introduce your project to Penguin Random House or you're pitching to a local university press. The strategy is the same!
🤚🏽 Is this live or instant access?
This is instant access. You can start learning how to dazzle a publisher as soon as you join!
✋🏻 Is there a guarantee I’ll get published?
Nope. But here’s the guarantee: you will know exactly what it takes to get published, and successful execution is up to you!
✋🏾 Do you offer refunds?
