Publishers get thousands of book proposals every year.
How in the world does any writer get their proposal to stand out from the rest?
It can feel impossible.
The reality is, if there isn’t something that makes your proposal stand out, an acquisitions editor will glance at it and chuck it into the trash bin.
It doesn’t matter how long you worked on it or how many people your book could have helped.
Fortunately, I can show you what makes the difference.
Having reviewed well over 5,000 book proposals, I can tell you the secret to getting your proposal the attention it deserves.
The key is a subtle mindset shift and dogs (yep, dogs), and I break it all down for you in the video below.
