At the moment, there are no upcoming group classes for How to Write a Nonfiction Book Proposal, but I am available to work with writers individually. You can send me an email for more information and/or check out my Editing & Coaching page. Scroll down to the section on Writers Ready to Query Agents.

Do you have an irresistible narrative or prescriptive nonfiction idea or are you heading toward a complete draft of a memoir or essay collection? When you query agents, there’s a strong chance they’re going to ask you for a book proposal and you’ll want to have one ready to send. There’s also the possibility that you can score a book deal based only on your proposal and some sample chapters. I can help you develop the elements of a nonfiction book proposal and walk you through assembling a document that is compelling and professional. We’ll look at models and consider advice from industry insiders. In addition to moving your project closer to publication, compiling a proposal is an excellent way to refine the structure, content, and goals of your book.
