Working on a gripping memoir or nonfiction book but have no clue how to land an agent or contract? Rachel Kambury, an associate editor at HarperCollins, can help make your dream of publishing your book a reality! In this seven-week Online Book Proposal Class, she’ll help you shape and prepare your presentation so it’s the project that everyone wants to buy. Although book proposals are not often used for fiction projects, this class will also help novelists develop the tools, pitch and knowledge necessary to sell yourself as an author and market your book.

Through informative craft lectures and targeted feedback, Rachel will help you create a pitch perfect overview and an annotated outline that serves as a clear road map for your book. She’ll also help you design a marketing section that zeroes in on your audience, the need for your book, and sells you as the ideal person to write it.
