You've finished your book. Or maybe you have an idea that you just can't ignore. Either way, you've spent time with it, you've drilled down into it, and you know other people need to hear it. You know you want to publish, and you feel traditional publishing is the path for you. Congratulations!

Now are you ready to query agents? What does querying really involve, and what do agents want to see? Our Pitch Track course will tell you what to expect, and help get your querying materials pitch perfect!

The Pitch Track is a 13-step course with instructional videos, case studies, and workbook exercises. You’ll come away with a query letter, a book proposal, a pitch strategy, a clear vision of what kind of agents you’re seeking, and a greater understanding of all the steps and possible outcomes in the pitching process.

This course is self-paced and self-directed. If you would like to get feedback on your work or work with a book coach to polish your pitch plan, we'll let you know how to do that at the end of the course.

Developed by Jennie Nash, founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, and multiple-six-figure book coach, whose clients regularly land 5- and 6-figure Big 5 book deals.
