LANDED AGENT FOR HER BOOK + SCREENPLAY
Kathy is so much more than a thorough guide to the publishing world. She paved the way for me and opened the door to opportunity. I highly recommend to all writers who want to get published.
Patricia Crawfor Author, Screenwriter
You have a decision to make.
Many writers mistakenly believe that the work should speak for itself. They chose to believe that it’s the agent's and publisher's job to seek out the potential for a book. They chose to believe that they shouldn’t have to “sell” their writing to get a book deal.
And because of that, they get left behind.
Publishing is a business, just like any other business. And to succeed in it, you have to understand how it works. You have to understand where you fit in the business.
You have to work to make yourself marketable.
The writers who realize this are the ones that rise to the top, and get the book deals.
Option #1: You can go it alone, or keep doing what you're doing now (and possibly suffer from Query Conundrum syndrome)
Option #2: Join the Path to Published and let me help you hone your pitch to perfection and show you exactly how to pick the right agents to share it with so that you can...
Start getting paid for your writing.
Use your book to increase your consulting fees.
Start booking speaking gigs.
Start building the career and life you want.
Land an agent and get a book deal.
What's it going to be?
Let's get you started on your path to published, today.

14-Day Money Back Guarantee
If for any reason you feel like you are not better prepared to pitch agents and land a book deal after taking this course, you should get your money back. No questions asked. Just contact us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund your money. (We'll be shocked, but we'll refund your money.)
WAS GOING TO SELF-PUBLISH
I didn't understand traditional book deals. Now I have an agent and am on my way. I can't recommend the course and Kathy enough. She's a writing agent, hovering over you and guiding you through the process.
Patricia Philbert Author
SMALL, KEY CHANGES = BIG IMPACT
I landed a kick-a$$ agent. Kathy showed me how to improve my hook and make my query more attractive to agents. She cuts to the heart of the problem and her advice is backed up with a wealth of industry info.
Matthew Harffy Author
EVEN CELEBRITIES NEED HELP
I know the entertainment industry, but publishing is different. I didn't know where to start and didn't want to make a mistake with something so precious as my book. Kathy's advice was priceless. This girl knows what she's doing.
Cheryl Ladd Actress, singer, author
HAD NEVER HEARD OF A QUERY LETTER
This was all new to me. But, I learned so much from Kathy's webinar that I knew the course would be great - I wasn't disappointed. The modules are short enough to keep your attention yet packed with easy tips. Now I have a killer query, thanks to Kathy.
Sandy Lee Sanderson Author
If you want a course with valuable content that's easy to understand and apply, you must take Kathy's course.
Cindy Nolte
Bestselling Author
I pitched nine agents and seven asked to see my manuscript. Including two requests for my full manuscript - one from the top agent in the country. This happened because of this course and my time with Kathy.
Deb Bohles
First-time Author
The course has all the info needed, even if you write [insert genre here].
Here’s the deal, the pitch is the pitch. Doesn’t matter if you’re pitching a memoir, a picture book or the next zombie apocalypse survival guide.
Some sections vary slightly between fiction and nonfiction. So, you’ll see different videos for those sections.
Other than that… the pitch is the pitch.
And remember, you also get the Top 10 Agent guides by genre. So when it comes to [insert genre here], I've got you covered.
Not even a little bit. In my opinion, it's never too early to get educated on the business. ‘Cuz let’s be real, publishing is a business.
Your book may be a work of creative genius. (I’m sure it is)
But the publishers only care if they’ll make money on it. (I’m sure they will)
So understanding what that means, and how that works, is a pretty critical piece of your dream’s puzzle.
Starting to put the pieces together early is a good thing.
Think of it like finding all the flat edge pieces of the puzzle first, so you can build out the frame. Then you can keep working on the inside (pretty picture part) as you go.
And remember, you get lifetime access to the course. So it'll be there when you're ready.
That includes any updates that may be made to the course.
(What you won't get, is this price and these bonuses.)
(She gasps.) Well first, I know you’re gonna love it. But second, that’s totally fine.
It’s totally up to you how long you stay.
The headline is: you have a 14-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
If you get in there and decide that implementing the tips, and tools and tactics and formula that has helped hundreds of other writers, won't help you...
Then I'll give you your money back.
The subheadline is: it’s a no-risk venture.
(Maybe that ^^ should have been the headline, huh?)
Yes. Agents adore [insert country of your choice].
Actually, I have no idea what agents think about your country specifically. 😘
What I do know is that agents adore good books. They adore writers who write good books.
They don’t give a hoot where that writer lives.
So yes, the course works equally well even if you live in [insert country of your choice].
No. The course gives you everything you need to write the type of query that agents love.
And BTW, YOU can write the kind of query that agents love.
You. Can. Do. It.
No one knows your book better than you. No one understands what makes your book great, better than you.
Once you understand how to showcase that information, you’ll be unstoppable.
Again I say: You. Can. Do. It.
We will review query letters each month during your VIP Group Coaching calls.
