Ready to pursue writing a book proposal?
Join Kathi and her guests (everyone at the actual writing retreat) as they discuss all they learned about the important aspects of proposals.
From building chapter titles, to writing your story to marketing, hear from all The Red House guests on their important takeaways about book proposals!
Today’s Episode Takeaways:- marketing is not to convince an editor to publish you, but to confirm to yourself that you're ready to publish
- to focus in on things that require a higher barrier entry
- we’re better together
- your proposal is actually a business plan
- if we just serve our tribe, God will take care of everything else
- you're not building a book, you're building a ministry
- your chapter titles should tell a story
- writing a book is mostly about falling in love with your reader
