It’s time to write that book (proposal)…

An invitation for writers who need coaching

Do you have an idea or concept in your heart that you’ve been trying to put on the page? Is there something God has taught you, or an aspect of living to follow Jesus that you want others to learn as well? Are you spinning your wheels trying to figure out what the next steps are in becoming a published author? If these questions resonate with you, then:

It’s Time for “Summer Camp!” (Or a Summer Cohort)

The GCD Writers' Summer Camp is a 12-week online experience to help writers craft and build their next book proposal. Campers will gain the tools and confidence to take their abstract book ideas and make a proposal a reality through conversations with authors, agents, and acquisition editors. At the conclusion of our summer, you will have been coached by authors, literary agents, publishing house editors, and others. You will have all the tools to develop and complete a comprehensive and competitive book proposal. So join us!

The cohort starts on May 29, 2025
