We’re thrilled to announce our first—of what we hope will be many—FREE workshop for writers
The Downtown Writers Jam: Non-Fiction Book Proposal & Pitch Writing Workshop
- Date: Sunday, July 10
- Time: 10 am—11 am Eastern
This is a FREE one-hour workshop to help non-fiction writers understand how to write a non-fiction book proposal and the pitch letter.
Workshop Agenda:
- the five components of a book proposal packet,
- the importance of the table of contents,
- the 10-page writing sample,
- how to research what agents want in their proposals, and
- how to craft your packet to fit each individual’s need!
- Then, we will discuss the elements of a strong 2-3 paragraph pitch email, and
- how to approach pitching.
Take aways:
- Workshop participants will receive a PDF with the proposal and pitch templates to help them as they work on their own packets; and
- each person will get a free 30-minute follow up consultation with Brad once they have finished their writing their proposals!
There are no strings attached and no hidden or extra fees. It’s perfect for early-stage career writers who are a bit daunted by the whole “how do I get an agent” process!
