 HOW TO LAND AN AGENT AND WRITE A PROPOSAL THAT GETS NOTICED

I am a firm believer that we all have a story to share. Whether you're an aspiring author or seasoned writer, this course will serve as your go-to roadmap for success. Trust me when I tell you, I've been where you are. I know how taxing the literary world can be, because I've navigated it myself. But I also know the joy that comes from seeing a dream become a reality. 

​

With this course, I'm teaching you everything I've learned along the way (including all things I wish I'd known). There are no gimmicks, no strings attached, or twenty minute long sales pitches at the end - just me and you. 

​

Are you ready to share your story? Grab a pen and let's get started.
