A FREE five-day workshop to help you crystallise your book idea and learn the FOUR essential questions you MUST answer in your book proposal, to give yourself the best chance of getting a traditional publishing deal.
This workshop is completely free and includes a LIVE Q&A where Beth will be answering questions about the process of pitching and writing books, and the writing life. Not to be missed!
WILL THIS BE THE YEAR YOU FINALLY WRITE YOUR BOOK?
Writing a book not only changes the life of the writer, it has the potential to change the life of readers in a positive way. If that’s not a reason to show up to work, I don’t know what is.
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. You’re going to be one of those people who gives themselves the chance to be paid to write, and changes people’s lives with the things they have to say.
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.
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.
Class runs January 22-26, 2024. Please join us and give your book dream a chance. Click ‘Buy now’ above and then go through checkout to register. You do not need to give any credit card details and you will not be charged anything.
“Your book saved my life.”
“Your book gave me hope when I had none.”
“Your book made me remember what really matters.”
“Your book showed me I am not alone.”
“Your book reminded me, and all the friends in my grief group, how to be hopeful.”
“Your book brought light and possibility to my life.”
“I am eighteen years old and you have made me think differently about my whole future.”
“I loved your book so much I got the cover tattooed on my body.”

This is why I write books. These are all taken from actual DMs or emails I have received over the past few years. How would you feel to get DMs and emails like this from YOUR readers? If you’d like your stories, ideas, life experiences and thoughts about the world to make an impact in book form, you need to write a book. And to get that book widely distributed by a traditional publisher, you need a book proposal. To get the best deal you can, you need a commercially-compelling and irresistible book proposal. This class will teach you what is involved with that, and help you give shape to your book idea.
You are invited to join my FREE workshop on ‘How to Get a Book Deal’. I am offering this for free because writing books has changed my life and brought untold blessings into my world, and I believe the world needs YOUR medicine too. Here’s proof that I know what I am talking about:
- Bestselling author of six books in six years
- Published in more than 25 languages
- Nearly 50 separate book deals with publishers all over the world including ALL of the ‘Big Five’
- Recommended by TIME Magazine, British Vogue, The Sunday Telegraph, Psychologies Magazine and more
- Apple USA must-listen audiobook
- Top 20 Healthy Living Bestseller List for sales in independent bookstores across the USA
- One book-inspired BBC Radio documentary
- Five book-inspired tattoos on readers’ bodies!
- Countless testimonials of genuine life-changing impact
This has been my actual experience of writing non-fiction books, all while running a business, moving house many times and making mischief with two children under ten. Don’t buy into the struggling writer myth. It doesn’t have to be that way. Want to know how to land your own non-fiction book deal and launch your career as a writer? Then join me for this FREE workshop!
How To Get a Book Deal starts January 22 and runs for five days. I will walk you through the process of developing and pitching a book idea, and there will be a live Q&A so you can ask me anything you like about writing books. By the end of it your book idea will have taken shape and you will feel much more confident about sharing it with the world.
I can’t wait to meet you and your book!

PS A lot of people have been asking about the difference between this free course How to Get a Book Deal and my course The Book Proposal Masterclass (which runs live for four weeks from January 29). It’s a good question! How to Get a Book Deal is the WHAT – it is an introduction to the world of writing books and getting published. It gives you an insight into what you need to do to get a book deal, busts a few urban myths and inspires you to take your book dream seriously. You will come away with a better idea of how it all works and what you will need to do if you want to get traditionally published. There is no community for the free class – it is just me sharing five valuable video-based lessons and offering a Q&A.
The Book Proposal Masterclass on the other hand is the HOW – it is a deep dive into the process, where I hand-hold you through the development of a commercially compelling book proposal, teach you the ins and outs of getting an agent and a publisher, teach you about the money aspect and the business of writing, as well as support you on the emotional rollercoaster of it all. It is a practical yet soulful course with a very hands-on approach from me (we workshop titles and sub-titles, shape your ideas together, you can put questions to me and to my own agent and so on) and you get access to a tight-knit community of other people with a book dream, who will most likely become supporters for you and your book(s) for years to come. Places are strictly limited for the Book Proposal Masterclass and only a few spots remain for the January session, so if you want my support in getting your proposal done, it’s worth considering registering for that one, You can book here.
Note: Everything in How to Get a Book Deal is also in the Masterclass, but the Masterclass goes into a lot more depth, so if you are already registered for the Masterclass you are welcome to join the free class as a warm up, but you do not need to.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Class runs for five days online in a private classroom. Lessons will be released at 9am UK time daily from Monday January 22 – Friday January 26 but you do not have to be online at that time. You can just log in whenever suits you. We will also have a Live Q&A at 6-7pm UK time on Saturday January 27. If you cannot join live you will be able to send a question in ahead of time and will be sent a replay, and you will have access to all content until July 31, 2024.
