Book Proposal Intensive

A strong book proposal doesn't write itself — plan to invest two to three hours per week working through each section so you finish the four weeks with a complete, pitch-ready proposal. Some weeks may flow quickly, others may require a little more time, but that average is a reliable guide. Once the program concludes, you'll have everything needed to continue revising and improving on your proposal if needed.

Every call is recorded and the replay will be available within 24 hours. You won't miss a thing and can watch the replays as many times as desired. That said, showing up live gives you the opportunity to ask questions in real time — which is where a lot of the magic happens. Replays will be available as a permanent resource within the Facebook group on the same day as the call.

Absolutely! This program was built for writers at every stage — including those who have never written a single word of a book proposal and have no idea where to start. If you have a solid book idea and a passion for sharing your story, then this will help you pursue your dream. The weekly guides walk you through every section step by step. You don't need to come in knowing anything except that you have a message worth sharing and a desire to learn how to get it into the hands of readers.

Even better — you'll be able to strengthen and polish what you already have. Many writers come in with pieces of a proposal because they don't know what agents and publishers require, and leave with something complete, cohesive, and compelling. They have the basic information, but their proposal doesn't show the transformation for the reader that publishers need to see or explain why their book is needed in today's literary market in a way that will sell. As a literary agent, Tracie knows what publishers are looking for. Everything you'll learn in the live coaching calls and the feedback component of this program are especially valuable if you have existing work to refine.

This is one of the most common fears and hesitations I hear — and one of the things we address directly in Week 3. Platform matters, but it's not the whole story. You'll learn how to present what you DO have in the most compelling way possible, how to make use of borrowed platforms to show you have influence, and how to make the case for yourself honestly and powerfully, despite the size of your online presence.

This program is designed primarily for nonfiction Christian books — memoir, devotional, Bible study, self-help, Christian living and ministry-focused titles. If you're writing fiction, the proposal process is somewhat different but much of the information is applicable to fiction authors and this program could still be exactly what you need. You're invited to reach out if you want to chat with Tracie before enrollment.

You'll have everything you need to complete it. The workbook, weekly guides, book proposal template, the feedback, and the recorded calls are all yours to keep — so you can continue refining after the program ends. And if you want one-on-one follow-up support, Tracie's individual coaching packages are always available.

That's the benefit of the community! Each week you'll be challenged to share the content from each of your proposal elements and gain invaluable feedback from fellow Intensive members, as well as from Tracie, who will be active in the private Facebook group every day. You can also purchase a personal, comprehensive Book Proposal Audit upon enrollment in the program at a 34% discount, and Tracie will personally offer developmental feedback, polish and praise points and suggestions for improvement on every section. You will receive a feedback document with detailed instructions for what needs to be improved or tweaked in every section.

Tracie will provide many opportunities in the private Facebook group every week for Intensive participants to submit their section content for feedback, and will personally be offering feedback to everyone and be active in the group on a daily basis.

A template tells you what to include — this program teaches you how to make every section compelling, strategic, and tailored to your specific book the way agents and publishers need to see it. You'll get the most professional, comprehensive template out there, but you'll also get live coaching, step-by-step weekly guides, real feedback on your work, and the expertise of a literary agent who knows exactly what makes a proposal stand out from the pile. By the end, you won't just have a filled-in template — you'll have a proposal you believe in and are proud to send.

Then this program may be exactly what you need. A strong proposal can completely change how agents perceive your manuscript. Many authors who have been rejected simply did not have a polished proposal to support their work. Once a proposal is revised and turned into an actual strategic, well written proposal, it can be resubmitted to agent or publisher for a second review.

Absolutely! This Book Proposal Audit service is always available and is invaluable because you'll have full confidence in knowing your proposal is set up to attract an agent or publisher's attention and be pitch ready. However, in order to secure the 34% discount and the price of $199 for the coaching service, you'll want to choose that upgrade at checkout when you enroll for Book Proposal Intensive. Otherwise, you can purchase the audit service through this website at a later date when you're ready.

The program is designed with Christian women writers in mind, but the book proposal structure and industry standards apply across all markets. Writers in other genres are welcome.

The investment for the Book Proposal Intensive Program is only $497, a savings of over $2000 if you purchased Tracie's 1:1 book proposal package and you still receive all the instruction and guidance needed to craft an outstanding book proposal. Due to this only being a four week program, payment plans are not available.

All sales are final. Because you receive immediate access to the materials, templates, and resources upon enrollment, refunds are not offered under any circumstance.
