Book Proposal Summer Camp
I try not to make explicit-pitch newsletters here on Substack, but sometimes, I have to make an exception…
One week from today, I’m launching this year’s FREE Book Proopsal Summer Camp for nonfiction writers. I’m excited to run this quick, digestible, twice-weekly program that helps writers like YOU get a grip on what you need for a great book proposal.
We launch June 4 at 1 pm CT over on LinkedIn (click here to sign up)
The plan is to spend 20 minutes, twice a week, helping you comfortably and casually learn more about what goes into taking a book proposal from boring to impactful.
Each week we’ll cover tips and guidelines for specific proposal components, take deep dives into special challenges, share live coaching, and the first 10 writers to let me know will get free feedback via recorded video as they work on their draft (only 3 spots left!).
A few of the topics we’ll cover:
The differences between a summary of your book and the 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 of your proposal (yes, they're different!)
How to make your 𝗕𝗜𝗢 work for your book, instead of just being a cv (save that for LinkedIn 😉
How to define your target 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥 and how to start talking to them 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.
What in the world 𝘪𝘴 a 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣 𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗟𝗘?
How and why to pack your 𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 with moments of change instead of lists of action.
This Summer Camp is for you if:
📚 You are a woman with a powerful story to tell.
📚 People say, "You need to write a book!" and you agree.
📚 You’ve started writing but feel like there’s this strange "proposal" thing in the back of your mind and you’re not sure what to do about it.
📚 You’re unsure if you should start with the book or proposal first.
📚 You’ve tried writing a proposal already and feel unsteady, unsure, or overwhelmed

And remember, there’s no pressure. Come every Tuesday/Thursday, catch the replays, or drop in when you can. It’s up to you.
My Summer goal is to keep the stress low, but I also want to feel like I got some good work done this June. My plan is to kick back, relax, and spend my June talking book proposals with you!
Are you in?
Let me know.
