Private, interactive 8-week lab on Zoom with Top Publishing Executive Get personalized one-on-one mentorship and live feedback on your book proposal Only 10 spots available — 6 Spots Remain! Payment plans available at checkout or email [email protected] for more info Are you a writer with a great idea for a book, fiction or nonfiction, and ready to turn it into a polished, professional proposal that will grab the attention of agents and publishers? This is your chance to take your concept from inspiration to market-ready with confidence! In this exclusive Stage 32 lab, you will learn how to showcase your book’s unique voice, vision, and potential while building the key elements of a proposal that stands out. With the right guidance and tools, you can position your project for success and make a strong impression in today’s competitive publishing landscape. Too many writers have brilliant ideas but miss their shot because their proposals feel incomplete, unfocused, or unprofessional. Without a clear market analysis, strong chapter outlines, and polished pitch materials, even the best ideas can get overlooked. This exclusive Stage 32 lab is designed to help you avoid these pitfalls while giving you the confidence and skills to create a proposal that competes at the highest level. Taking you through this professional-level training is Eileen Cope, a 30-year publishing executive who has worked as both a book editor and a literary agent. Eileen has shepherded numerous national and New York Times bestselling books, and many of her projects have been optioned for film and television, including Operation Underworld (Martin Scorsese & Terence Winter), Queen of the Air (Andrew Lazar), Targeted (Ruth Wilson), and A Deal with the Devil (Imagine Entertainment). Eileen has sat on both sides of the publishing table and knows exactly what agents and editors look for, giving you insider insight to position your work for success. Throughout this interactive 8-week lab, Eileen will share insider knowledge from decades in the publishing industry. You will learn how to build every major section of a professional book proposal, including your pitch, overview, author bio, platform, market analysis, chapter summaries, and query letter. Each week you will take part in live Zoom sessions, study exclusive handouts and samples, and complete assignments that move your proposal forward. You will also meet with Eileen one-on-one for personalized guidance and feedback on your work. By the end of the lab, you will have a complete, polished book proposal and query letter ready to send to agents and publishers. This hands-on lab goes much further than other classes and webinars. You will study successful proposals alongside a small group of passionate writers in an interactive setting. You will workshop your writing and learn directly from an experienced publishing executive who has worked at the highest levels of the industry. Spots to work with Eileen are limited. Once they are filled, they are gone. Don’t miss your chance to build your book proposal and receive one-on-one mentorship from a top publishing executive. This interactive Stage 32 lab is held on Zoom and goes substantially more in depth than a Stage 32 webinar. Best of all? As soon as you sign up you will be linked on email with Eileen and given a questionnaire to fill out and send back to her. You will have access to her for the duration of your class by email to ask her any questions you have about your craft or career - it’s like having a mentor on demand! And, if you can't make a live session, don't worry! All class recordings will be available 48 hours after each session and you will be able to view them in your Library on your Stage 32 profile. Finally, you can expand your network with like-minded creatives - you'll have a dedicated lounge for interactive support and discussions with your fellow classmates!
