No more stressing about having millions of followers, the right degree, or the right connections.
You need this if...
☹️ You’ve got a book that you know will help others, but you don’t know what comes next
☹️ You know it’s good, but you have to know how to get the attention of a gatekeeper
☹️ You’re frustrated because you’ve reached out to an agent or publisher, but got no response
☹️ People have said that you need to write this book, but you don’t know how to convince that gatekeeper to say “yes”
If you relate, there's a solution!
WHAT I’VE LEARNED FROM PUBLISHING OVER 50 BOOKS AND WORKING WITH PUBLISHERS ON HUNDREDS OF MAJOR PUBLISHING PROJECTS…
Publishers don’t say “yes” because you wrote a great book with carefully crafted sentences.
Publishers say “yes” when you convince them that you’re solving a problem your reader has.
As I write my own books and books for clients—including 2 New York Times bestsellers—I’m giving the reader a reason to spend dollars to buy the book, and hours reading it, because there’s a benefit in it for them. That’s what publishers want.
THE BUNDLE INCLUDES
14 Bite-Sized Lessons: My How to Dazzle a Gatekeeper Strategy helps an agent or publisher to say “yes” to your book, even if you don’t have a million followers. ($177 value)
Guided Workbook: I'm sharing the exact strategies I use when I craft queries and book proposals for myself and clients ($37) value.
See a Winning Pitch: I’ll share the query that got me my best book contract to date that is easily tailored—cut and paste!—to pitch your nonfiction book to a literary agent or publisher. (Also for pitching magazines and podcasts!!!) ($97 value)
BONUS: My Signature 14-Beat Pitch Strategy: No more wondering if you got it right when you hit these 14 (brief) beats! As you craft your pitch to an agent or publisher it does the work of composing your message for you! ($37 value)
READY TO UNLOCK AN OFFER THAT GIVES YOU AN EDGE OVER OTHER WRITERS?
I'M SPILLING THE TEA
I hate knowing that so many writers have something important to say but don’t know how to convince the gatekeepers to open the gates.
Having written over 50 published books for major publishing houses, the gatekeepers—agents and publishers—have told me what they need to see to say “yes.” (And I love telling writer like you!)
I’ve had the honor of teaching these strategies at writing conferences across the country, but I knew that more aspiring authors needed this content.
Whether a publisher says “yes” or “no” depends largely on how effectively you communicate that you’ve got something unique to say and that it’s going to benefit the reader who buys your book. If you don’t make that wildly obvious, you haven’t given the publisher a good reason to say “yes.”
I’m weirdly passionate about helping writers like you get published. I hope you’ll join this crew of writers reaching audiences and changing lives because they’ve discovered how to dazzle publishers with their pitches, proposals, and projects!
I LOVE SEEING AUTHORS GET PUBLISHED...
"Margot reviewed my book proposal and within a month I signed with an agent who got me a deal at one of the 'Big 5.' I am confident that my proposal was made stronger due to her experience and wisdom!"
-Author Beth Bruno
"My two children sat with me at the kitchen table as I signed the contract because I wanted them to experience the feeling of a dream come true. Margot, my dream came true because of YOU."
-Dr. Jesse L. Nelson
"Margot's support increased the quality of our work and often brought us peace of mind. Our book Business Doing Good: Engaging Women and Elevating Communities is scheduled to be released this summer."
-Cheryl Miller & Shannon Deer

👋🏽 I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS...
✋🏾 I don’t have a big platform. Will this help me?
Yes! If you had a trillion followers, you actually wouldn’t need this at all. But normal people? We need it. Throughout the training you’re going to learn how to signal to publishers what they need to hear—even if you’re still in the process of building your audience.
🤚🏼 I’m not quite ready to pitch. Is this for me?
Yes!! The strategies that convince a gatekeeper to say “yes” that you’ll learn in this bundle are the exact same strategies that you’ll use when you’re pitching magazine editors, and podcasters, and even explaining your book to strangers in an elevator. This “messaging” will even help you write a better book.
🖐🏿 Should I buy this if I’m pitching a fiction book?
Nope. When gatekeepers are acquiring nonfiction projects, what they need to see is a bit different than what fiction publishers want to see. (Good news: you don’t have to write your entire nonfiction book before pitching it!)
👋🏽 I’m not expecting to land a contract with a Big 5 publishing house. Do I need this?
Great question, writer friend. 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 whether you’ll pitch your book to an acquisitions editor at 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 help a publisher as soon as you join!
🤚🏽Is there a guarantee I’ll get published?
We take pride in the authors, across various nonfiction genres, who’ve been published after learning this content. Due to the effort required on your part to see success, can’t guarantee that you’ll be published. What we can guarantee is that you will know exactly what it takes to get published, and successful execution is up to you!
🖐🏼 Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of the product, we do not offer refunds. If you have questions about whether or not this offer is for you, email us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help you.
