Before You Pitch: How to Get Agents & Publishers to Invest in You and Your Book
By Brand Strength
Most authors think a solid query letter, proposal, or good manuscript is all they need to get a book deal. But successful authors understand that agents and publishers are evaluating much more than just your book—they are sizing up whether to invest in you.
Learn the key Author Brand Essentials that will also improve your query letter, proposal, submission, and book deal.
Are you truly ready to pitch your book? Or go out on submission?
Agents and editors aren’t just looking at your book; they’re looking at your personal brand.
- Will your online brand impress them?
- Do you know how to convince them that the book will sell?
- Can you clearly articulate why you are the perfect person to write this book & why it's needed now?
If not, take a deep breath, I’ve got you.
In this class, we’ll go over the key elements you need to give your book its best chance at success. We’ll cover the essential elements you need to have in place to help sell your book (and your brand).
WHO This Is For:
- Writers who are preparing to query agents
- Writers who are already agented and are preparing to go out on submission
- Writers working on their MS who want to get a head start on preparing their brand for querying or submission
WHAT You'll Learn:
This is not a proposal or query writing class. This is about strategic branding.
- How to think like agents and editors, to understand what they need from you
- Which elements of your online brand matter most
- How to show your market potential effectively
- How to identify missing pieces of your author brand and fix them
- Determine the specific steps to get your author brand pitch-ready and public-ready.
Most authors don't take the time to understand how to truly set themselves and their books apart. Do the strategic work that most authors skip, so you can build the career most authors only dream of.
