Calling all non-fiction writers and aspiring authors.

Join us on Thursday nights (June 26 - July 17, 2025) for four live sessions focused on crafting non-fiction book proposals hosted live by author and writing coach Ruth Buchanan.

 If you're looking to pitch your non-fiction project to a literary agent and/or gain a traditional publishing contract through a small, mid-size, or "big five" publishing house, you will need to craft a full, professional non-fiction book proposal. 

Ruth Buchanan will provide you with a template and guided instruction, walk with you as you complete your proposal, create deadlines to keep you on track, and offer informed feedback on each section completed during the scope of the course.

Best of all, you'll enjoy the companionship and synergy of a small cohort of writers currently engaged in the same pursuit.

Included:
