And the world is waiting to hear your voice.
Whether it's your own story, a novel, a business book, a self-help book, a message of spiritual insight, or another type of book, people need what you have to say.
You have a message or story, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Writing a book can be tough to figure out, let alone the world of publishing!
That's about to change.
The best way to start a book project is with a book proposal. If you're pursuing a traditional book contract, the whole process starts with a book proposal. And if you're self-publishing, there's no better way to develop your idea, build your book's structure, and plan your marketing than with a book proposal.
Book Proposal Academy is an online course that shows you step-by-step how to craft a contract-worthy book proposal. Following this course will dramatically increase your chances and give you your best shot at landing a book deal. And if you don't land a book deal, you'll still be miles ahead in writing a riveting book and planning a winning marketing strategy.
“Whether you’re a veteran writer or novice, you will benefit immensely from Book Proposal Academy. Chad Allen is an accomplished writer and gifted communicator with years of experience in the publishing world. He will motivate and inspire you to get working on your craft! BPA is priceless!”
Chuck Tate, Author of 41 Will Come (Tyndale)
