Book Proposals
Your platform got you in the room. Your proposal has to close the deal.
Agents and editors aren't looking for a great idea — they're looking for a complete package. Your proposal is that package. And it has to be flawless.
Close the deal
Traditional publishing is not a lottery.
Agents and editors aren't looking for a great idea — they're looking for a complete package: a compelling concept, a defined audience, a credible author, and a book they can see selling. Your proposal is that package. And it has to be flawless.
Our team has spearheaded multiple book proposals that secured six-figure advances, landed authors with major publishing houses, and went on to hit national bestseller lists. We know what agents are looking for because we've been on both sides of the table.
We've built the package that sells.
The reality
This is harder than it looks
Most authors underestimate what a winning proposal requires. It's not a summary of your book. It's a business case for why your book deserves to exist, why you're the only person who could write it, why readers need it right now, and why a publisher can make money on it.
Getting that case wrong — even slightly — means your proposal gets passed over. Getting it right means competitive interest, multiple offers, and leverage.
“This is not the place to figure it out as you go.”
The process
How your proposal comes together
Over 2–3 months, we build a submission-ready proposal that positions your book and platform for the right deal.
Strategic coaching
We start with coaching calls to understand your goals, thought leadership positioning, target market, personal network, and the competitive landscape — so every piece of the proposal serves a purpose.
Expert guidance
We guide you through positioning your book and crafting each section of the proposal to give you the strongest possible chance of securing representation.
Full book outline
We develop your complete book outline — a clear architecture and chapter-by-chapter blueprint that demonstrates the scope, promise, and marketability of your project.

You leave with a polished, submission-ready proposal package and the confidence to approach agents and publishers.
