Is this right for me?
Book Deal Bootcamp is made for entrepreneurs and experts who want to write and publish a how-to book on topics related to business, personal finance and money, personal growth, leadership, energetics, parenting, education, relationships, psychology, and/or health and wellness (among other topics). I will personally review your book idea to make sure we’re a good fit.
How much work can I expect?
It’s up to you. Book Deal Bootcamp is what you make of it.
You can choose to focus on learning everything you can, which means that your commitment will be around 6 hours of attending calls and taking notes.
Or you can take full advantage of the opportunity to learn, solidify your goals, develop content, and strategize how to move forward — with my feedback along the way. How much time that requires varies person to person.
Can you guarantee I’ll get a book deal?
No. You should be wary of anyone that makes you that promise. That said, 80% of my clients that finish a book proposal with me and my team do land a deal with a top publisher.
*Not everyone is a good fit for my services.
