Ready to land a book deal with 6-figure potential? This comprehensive crash course teaches nonfiction authors exactly how to craft a winning book proposal using the same template that has actually secured multiple 6-figure publishing contracts with major publishers.

Led by Nakia JST, a high-profile ghostwriter and publishing consultant who has helped authors pitch and secure hundreds of thousands in total book deal advances, this audio-visual crash course removes the mystery and gatekeeper knowledge behind getting a book deal. You’ll be able to listen to audio recordings of lessons like a podcast as well as follow through the book proposal template with our lead Author Partner.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Understand the traditional publishing industry and how book deals work
2. Create a complete, professional book proposal using a proven template
3. Write compelling query letters that capture literary agent attention
4. Research and identify the right literary agents for their book
5. Position themselves strategically for a 6-figure advance
6. Develop a backup plan if their proposal doesn’t sell to traditional publishers
