Developing your nonfiction book proposal
If you're writing a nonfiction book and hoping to land a deal with an agent and traditional publisher (Harper Collins, Penguin Random House, etc.) submitting a stellar proposal will give you your best shot at getting noticed.
1. First things first ...
My goal for all the nonfiction writers I coach is an absolutely rock solid argument and a compelling reader transformation. Wherever you are in your process, you'll write a better book if you first take a step back and invest some focused time on the fundamentals.

2. Onto your proposal ...
Building on the foundation, we will develop all seven elements of a formal proposal. This is a heavy lift and requires a serious commitment of resources to get your brilliant idea into the hands of someone who can sell it (and you!) to a publisher for a traditional deal.

3. Get ready to go for it!
Pitching agents involves research to identify the most likely matches for your idea, a tiered effort to approach them, a careful look at their feedback, and a discussion of the type of agent you are looking to partner with.
