Book Ideation: What is a book? That sounds ridiculous, but what does it mean to write one? What story do you have to tell? And how should you begin to think about telling it?
How to Write a Proposal: A nonfiction book proposal is a very specific document, and I will walk you through how to write it. This document has to be formulated to get and retain eyeballs for funding your idea.
How to Get an Agent: How do you approach an agent? When should you approach an agent?
How to Pitch a Book: Pitching anyone on your idea can be overwhelming. How should you frame it?
How to Promote a Book: Independent book press is necessary. Publishing houses aren’t concerned you can write a book; they are concerned you can sell it.
Everyone and anyone can write a book. Trust me. I can’t promise you it’ll be the best, but I can promise you it’ll be better than most (there are a lot of bad books).
BOOK AN HOURLY SESSION -
Meredith advises on book proposals with a light touch or a heavy pen.
The latter often includes a three-month engagement with a fully-executed proposal. The former is either a rough edit, a deep edit, or comments and summaries. She has written 13 successful proposals (which were purchased for publication). As a published author herself, she is keenly aware of the key attributes of a solid project proposal.

Meredith has run PR campaigns for book releases for a dozen years, working alongside every major publishing house.
She has promoted books from prominent outlets like The New York Times and TIME magazine to popular podcasts like The Wall Street Journal and NPR to newsletters and beyond. Her experience with authors is in-depth and thoughtful. As a published author herself, she understands this process deeply.
