Feedback on your book concepts and proposal from senior editors
Like most of Sarah's courses, this is not a course that gives you the theory. This is a course that actually SHOWS you how to do it through exercises and specific tasks related to your book.
Sarah says:
"It has been my privilege over the years to work with professionals to support them to plan and write a book. A book is such a fantastic calling card. It puts you in another league and it can fast-track your career, your message and your entire platform. Let's get it right, let's find the right angle and your book can fly."
It’s a hard push to get you to engage with the dream of writing a book.
"Just stick to the rules, follow the course directions and take it one week at a time. Most of the hard planning work will be upfront during the first 20 days. Once you have your concept and plot, the writing is going to flow"
