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!

How to Get a Book Deal*

WILL THIS BE THE YEAR YOU FINALLY WRITE YOUR BOOK? Writing a book is a dream that lots of people have. Some people talk about it. Few people actually bring it to life. But you’re going to be one of those people, I know it.

My name is Beth Kempton and I am the bestselling author of six non-fiction books which have been translated into 28 languages. Writing books has changed my life, and brought unimagined blessings. I want that for you too.

I am offering this five day course for free because I believe so many of us get held back by urban myths and a lack of accurate information (as well as fear, of course). I hope this course will go some way towards removing that barrier and helping you believe in yourself and your book idea.

Every book in the world begins as a vague idea. It calls to you from deep inside and far away. You may not be able to articulate exactly what it is or what it will become just yet, but if you already feel connected to it, you are ready to begin. This short class will show you the way.

Class runs May 12-16, 2025 and it is FREE. Please join us and give your book dream a chance.

By the end of the course, the alchemical nature of it all will ensure you have a stronger sense of what really matters to you, and a clear idea of where to focus your time, energy and attention. Not to mention having much more confidence in your writing after all that practice…
