Polish & Pitch 8-Week Mastermind
No matter how much drive you have right now—it can all disappear.
Without focused, weekly meetings and a dedicated group of peers, your project can sink to the bottom of your to-do list.
Going it alone can feel lonely and, sometimes, impossible.
That’s why I’m offering the Polish & Pitch Mastermind this spring.
Polish & Pitch is an 8-week coaching and accountability mastermind to support you all the way to the finish line of your project.
Build on the impressive ground you’ve gained in Book Proposal Academy.
Maintain your focus, enthusiasm and courage.
Don’t wait until some unknown date in the future to get your book out there.
The Polish & Pitch Mastermind is 8 weeks of accountability and coaching. You will:
- Finish up the revisions on your proposal (or re-engage)
- Research the agents or publishers you want to pitch
- Begin the querying process
- Start writing more chapters
- Work with a small cohort of dedicated peers (all BPA graduates)
- Troubleshoot your challenges
- Celebrate your wins!
- OPTION: Get feedback from me on up to 70 pages
- OPTION: Get access to the Teachable Learning Hub
- BONUS: Hear from a publishing industry guest—and ask them questions!
I have space for just 6 – 8 up-and-coming authors to work closely with me from May 8th through June 26th.
You with us? You have two options.
For weekly, live meetings and Slack community, choose the standard track.
Want all of the above plus feedback from me? Choose the option below.
Expert Guidance, Peer Support, & Regular Check-ins
Polish & Pitch keeps you writing, revising, and pitching.
Stay on track to write revise, polish, connect and strategize next steps.
Stay in the flow and stay connected to your book— and me!
Tend to your proposal (and book!) in spite of life’s distractions and responsibilities.
We’ll be with you when you get stuck.
And we’re there to celebrate your wins!
