Book Proposal Masterclass (LIVE)*

MAY 19 – JUN 15, 2025

This live online masterclass with me, Beth Kempton, and my literary agent Hardman & Swainson will help you turn your non-fiction book idea into a deal-winning book proposal, to wow publishers and launch your professional writing career. My six book proposals have secured nearly 60 individual book deals with publishers all over the world including ALL of ‘the Big Five’. This used to be my dream. Now it’s my job. And it could be yours too.

In this four week LIVE class I will take you by the hand and lead you step-by-step towards a compelling proposal for YOUR book idea. It doesn’t matter if right now all you have is a deep yearning to write a book, or just the vaguest of ideas. The course will show you how to shape that into a book that a publisher wants to invest in, and readers will want to read.

The course includes:

– Regular live sessions (idea workshopping, live Q&As and more)

– A carefully constructed four week curriculum of audio lessons with interactive worksheets that will help you crystallise your idea, outline your book, plan your chapters, and nail your marketing plan

– Direct access to me every weekday in our private Facebook group to answer any questions you have along the way, and offer my input and insight as you shape your proposal

– Interviews with industry specialists (including literary agents, PR & Marketing professionals and other authors)

– Diary of a Book Deal – a money-can’t-buy inside track showing the evolution of one of my recent books from idea to proposal in four weeks plus what happened next (the book deal and publication!)

Designed specifically for non-fiction (including memoir), this course is everything you need to bring your book dream to life, with a whole lot of support and encouragement. I only offer the Book Proposal Masterclass ONCE a year, and it has SOLD OUT every time we have run it in the past, and places are strictly limited to allow me to support everyone. So if you are serious about getting your book proposal done, hurry and book your place now!

Breathe. Write. Repeat. It sounds simple, and it is, but it can be challenging when our days are flooded with noise from the everyday world.

This virtual writing retreat will support your practice whether you want to go deep on a particular project, or just show up and see what comes.

All you need to do is commit the time, sign up, pack your bags and breathe, write, repeat.

You’ll be astonished at what spills out onto the page.
