Get a nonfiction book deal—starting with a proposal agents can’t ignore!
I’m a former literary agent and the author of two traditionally published nonfiction books. I help writers of nonfiction and memoir get agent-ready with market-ready proposals, submission materials, and customized research.
I understand that it's frustrating to be a professional in your field but not to understand how to get a book published. I help nonfiction experts develop and refine their book proposals to attract the attention of literary agents and book publishers. My constructive editorial feedback on proposals and sample chapters provides a level of personal engagement with your project that a group workshop or online course cannot.
My mission: to help nonfiction writers become authors with standout book proposals and submissions materials.
"Virginia expertly guided me through the exciting and complex book proposal process, ultimately helping me secure a deal with a major publishing house. I am deeply grateful for her mentorship and will always be indebted to her."
