THE DETAILS

But basically, you watch short videos on your own time about the week's theme, discuss with us and others online, and meet for weekly conversations with us. You'll get custom worksheets that help you move toward your goal of completing a proposal ready for an agent or acquisitions editor.

​

We will also have live Q&A calls with industry professionals such as an agent, acquisitions editor, published author or another expert. These will be banked for you to access over time if you decide to hang out in the community beyond the five week course.
