If it hadn’t been for Denise George’s teaching on how to write a book proposal, I am confident I never would have published my first book. To state it positively, I am a published author because of Denise George’s expertise. She clearly and helpfully explained the process of writing a proposal, how to approach publishers, and publishing expectations, which gave me confidence and guidance as a first-time author. Now that I work in publishing as an acquisitions editor, I can testify at a secondary level that Denise truly is a leader in this field. She is your go-to expert with authority and experience in matters related to publishing.
