Hi — I’m Meghan.
I help entrepreneurs, experts, and thought leaders write nonfiction book proposals.
Since 2012, my team and I have helped our clients earn over $5,000,000 in advances from top publishers including Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hay House, and Hachette Book Group. I’ve also worked on six New York Times bestsellers.
In total, my books have sold millions of copies and helped thousands of people.
80% of our projects sell to traditional publishers.
Our clients are successful at landing literary agents and major book deals because we help them navigate each step — and only work with folks we know we can help.
What We Do
Book proposals
Ghostwriting, editing, and collaboration on full manuscripts (for authors who already have a traditional book deal)
Book Deal Bootcamp (an intensive that explains traditional publishing and how to land a book deal)
VIP Days (for those who want 1-on-1 help)
1-on-1 consultations (which help determine if we’re a fit, and if not, referrals to folks who can be)

“Meghan really is magical. I spent months spiraling, stuck, and confused by conflicting advice about publishing. In 60 minutes with Meghan I had a working table of contents and a clear plan of action moving forward. I cannot say enough about her genius.”
You want to write a bestseller because —
You want to change the lives of readers
You want to help more people
You want to leave your mark
And you want to get paid for your wisdom and words

“HIRING MEGHAN WAS THE BEST DAMN DECISION I MADE IN ALL OF 2021. She isn’t a literary agent, but will help you write a proposal and make the introductions that get you an agent and a deal. She took my dream of a book and turned that into a reality. She knows what she’s doing and made the agent/publisher-getting process a dream.”
FAQs
Is this right for me?
Every author and book idea is unique. That said, we do have a quick and easy way for you to find out whether we might be a good fit. Take the quiz.
How long does it take?
It depends. Every author’s timeline is different based on what your goals are.
Completing a book proposal takes approximately 4 to 8 months; drafting a manuscript can require 6 to 18 months, depending on the publisher's schedule.
That said, lots of people find us in the early stages of developing their book idea, and need to grow their audience and thought leadership first. (But don’t worry; we have solutions for that!)
To find out where you’re at, take this sixty-second quiz. At the end, you’ll receive specific guidance on what to do next.
Can you guarantee results?
No. You should be wary of anyone who guarantees a book deal. In traditional publishing, there are multiple variables that are outside of our control, even as expert collaborators.
That said, it’s in our best interest to get you a literary agent and six-figure book deal — so we can promise that we’ll do everything possible to help you be successful.
I want to write my own proposal or book. Is that possible?
Yes! The collaborators on our team are experienced editors, and can help you focus on what you can write to make your book successful.
What if I’ve already written my book?
Have you published it?
If you have sold it on Amazon or made it available to the public, it’s not likely a traditional publisher will be interested. Here’s why.
I have a literary agent already. Is this for me?
Definitely! We love working with clients who are represented by literary agents.
I have a book deal and a publisher already.
Congrats! We would love to talk about helping you finish your book manuscript.
That said, we don’t offer any services marketing, promoting, or selling books.
How do you work with clients?
We have a unique process that is individualized to each client and project we work on.
To find out what might be right for you, take our quiz. At the end, you’ll get a more detailed description of our services.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary by project, but our clients consistently earn a 200%+ return on their investment.
