Description

We’re starting a new series all about book proposals! We’ve talked around book proposals quite a bit on this show, but for the first time we’re going to dive deep. In this episode, Ariel interviews Liz, book proposal writer extraordinaire about why writers need book proposals, what a book proposal is, and how to get started on all of the essential pieces.





Don’t miss your chance to be part of our next cohort: The Book Deal Blueprint, starting January 21! Learn more here.
