Working with Ann Kroeker has been the single most valuable addition to my writing life.
"Working with Ann Kroeker has been the single most valuable addition to my writing life. Not only are her courses packed with valuable information, but her heart for her clients and passion for helping them reach their writing goals shines through in everything she does. After working with Ann one-on-one, I had the skills and confidence I needed to clearly communicate my book idea through verbal and written communication with agents and publishers. I can't imagine going through the process of writing my book proposal and pitching without her!"

What to Expect
Once you enroll
You can dive straight into the course content that breaks the process into 7 steps to make it more manageable. You'll get a course workbook, as well, to test out your phrasing and work through the exercises.
Watch the workshop training
Watch each step's recorded session as you're able. They're relatively short and provide a few insights into the publishing process as you work through developing your clear book idea.
After the workshop
You'll be invited to connect with Ann and consider enrolling in the full book proposal program she offers, because you'll be ready! However, if it's not the right time for you, she offers other free resources you can explore to help you maintain your momentum.

Only a few months into querying and pitching, I signed with an extraordinary agent.
"Only a few months into querying and pitching, I signed with an extraordinary agent. He read through my proposal and said I obviously knew what I was doing—there was next to nothing to change before sending it out. Ann's proposal program was incredibly helpful at setting everything up and helping me figure out exactly what to say and where. Ann is brilliant and one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. I'm so grateful to have Ann in my corner, helping me put together a rock-solid proposal, sharing her wisdom through countless brainstorming sessions, and believing in me the whole way."

This is a recorded course, so you can dive in right away. And I'm just a DM or email away if you have any questions at all.
I've worked hard to deliver a quality course at a low cost to make this as widely available as possible to help writers learn and grow. I sincerely hope you benefit from it. Not every course ends up being what we hope for or expect, though. If you don't like it, feel free to let me know. If for some reason, this truly did not deliver the value you expected, I'm happy to apply this toward another product or refund you the money within 14 days.
This course offers coaching and training from me (Ann) through pre-recorded videos to walk you through the process of clarifying your nonfiction book idea. You will not have access to me one-on-one with this course, but you'll be invited to join Your Compelling Book Proposal (YCBP), and at the Proposal Support or Premium Proposal levels you'll work directly with me. You could also reach out to work with Ann one-on-one or connect with her on social media.
You can explore all the ways to work with me, both free and paid, on my Everything page. This free course is listed on that page along with one-on-one coaching options, my courses—including my book proposal program (Your Compelling Book Proposal, YCBP, which I mentioned), and my platform membership, Your Platform Matters (YPM). You can also listen to my podcast, "Ann Kroeker, Writing Coach."
You'll have access to the workshop indefinitely—for as long as it lives online!
This doesn't replace Ann's full proposal course (Your Compelling Book Proposal, or YCBP), but it's a great place to start if you're not ready to commit to the full program. If you go through this 7-step course, you'll be well positioned to complete Ann's full proposal course when you're ready to invest—in fact, it'll be as if you've worked through Module 1!
A note from Ann...
As soon as you purchase, I'll walk you through the seven steps in the training videos—and I've provided extra material to keep you on track.
This is a great way to get started working toward a full book proposal, especially if you're seeking traditional publication. But even if you're interested in self-publishing, you still need clarity. You can use this course to make progress, whichever publishing path you choose.
One of my greatest joys as a coach is assisting writers with this process—I celebrate when they experience that breakthrough moment and figure out what their book is about, why they want to write it, and who it's for.
It would be my joy to be your writing coach, teaching and cheering you on as you achieve your goals.
