The Curriculum

Six modules covering every stage of the publishing journey — from manuscript to bookshelf.

01

The Publishing Landscape

Traditional vs. hybrid vs. self-publishing — a clear-eyed breakdown of every path, with honest assessments of what each requires and delivers.

02

Manuscript Preparation

How to prepare your manuscript to professional standards — structure, pacing, line editing, and the elements that make agents stop and read.

03

Query & Submission Strategy

Craft a query letter that gets opened. Build a targeted submission list. Understand what agents and acquisitions editors are actually looking for.

04

Contracts & Negotiation

Decode publishing contracts. Understand advances, royalties, rights, and the clauses that protect — or expose — your work.

05

Platform & Author Brand

Build the author platform that publishers demand. Social presence, media strategy, and the long-term brand that outlasts any single book.

06

Launch & Beyond

Pre-launch strategy, launch week execution, and the post-launch marketing that keeps a book selling long after the initial push.
