book proposal

Karolina has built a multiple six-figure company, spoken on stages all over the world, and even participated in interviews with her heroes. She’s worked hard to get to where she is today.

But there is one thing in her life that seemed to manifest itself out of thin air: her six-figure book deal for Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You, which was published in 2022 by HarperCollins Publishers.

In this episode, Karolina peels back ALL the layers of how it happened from start to finish - the visualizations and affirmations she used as anchors, committing to her goals out loud in a group coaching program, and later, turning a very rough first draft into a polished book proposal. Admittedly, there were points when this dream felt delusional – but sometimes you have to be delusional when it comes to dreaming.

P.S. Now that the holidays are about to begin, check out Karolina’s resources and guides for happy, healthy, alcohol-free holidays. 

Plus, Euphoric’s biggest sale of the year for Black Friday is happening now through November 28th! Save BIG on Karolina’s most popular programs, including Become Euphoric, 1:1 Business Mentorships, and the upcoming Costa Rica women’s retreat.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why you shouldn’t be skeptical about manifestations – which can take the form of affirmations, visualizations, and your overall belief system – and their important role in making dreams come true
• The book that helped Karolina in the beginning – The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield – and the vision she had of herself and her book before she’d even written it
• The power of human connection and deeper purpose – for example, Karolina thought her book could change lives, which can make any hardships about your goal feel more bearable
• How to tap into subconscious programming through constant goal reminders and anchoring your dreams to objects
• Karolina’s detailed journey of writing Euphoric: the idea, the work, the coaching group, the book proposal, finding an agent, refining the book proposal, and the two (!!) book offers she got

Today we’re joined by the CEO, Editor-in-Chief, and namesake of Kevin Anderson & Associates, a team of publishing experts who provide ghostwriting and other services to shepherd authors through the writing and publishing process.

Being able to lean on the experience, knowledge, and skills of veteran publishing experts can make a world of difference in the quality and success of your book. Kevin Anderson speaks about the different kinds of literary guides out there, the unique skills associated with each title, and how to decide which partnership is right for you and your book. 

Writing a book can feel like a big undertaking, not to mention there’s the editing process, pitching and the big question we all have: How the heck do I write my book proposal?

Well in today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast, I’m sitting down with the person I wrote my book proposal with and an ah-MAZING coach and consultant, Richelle Fredson.

Richelle is the founder of Purposeful Platforms, a coaching and consulting company that anchors and amplifies authors through competitive book proposals, platform building and strategic book launches. Her clients include NYT Bestselling authors and first-time authors who have garnered book deals from top publishers including Random House, Simon and Schuster, Little Brown, Tarcher Perigee and more. 

She helps you get clear on your core book concepts and guides you to create the impact you desire. I had so much fun talking with Richelle in this episode about how it’s actually smart to write a book because it can help you uplevel and invite new people into your business. Plus, she filled me in on how to approach the common resistance blocks she sees - which also might be what’s stopping you.

Let’s dive in.

Most writing workshops and books will teach you to identify the target market for your book. You know women 35-45 with 1-3 school age kids, that sort of thing. But there is a problem with this approach. It’s based on the old school marketing theory of market share in a limited shelf space world. In the current non-fiction literary landscape writing for a target market instead of an ideal reader can spell death for your book.
