“My book would not have been what it was without the direction and support of Rise Literary! They not only pushed me to go deeper into my book proposal and helped me secure a publisher, but also, they helped me to build my career as a respected writer and author.”

01
Your Path to Promise + Approach
Begin to identify your promise to your reader and what approach your work will take in fulfilling that promise. Spoiler alert: your promise usually ends up being your book title and your subtitle is your approach.
02
Build Your Book Outline
Using your story chronology and topic buckets, you will develop your book outline to not only chart your table of contents for your book but to chart your table of magic content – that can be repurposed for posts, pieces, and blogs.
03
Find Your Creativity Partner
We help you identify the person or people to start creating an accountability and creativity group, establishing the right group, setting goals, tracking your progress, and turning the creativity circle into your new writing community.
04
Build Your Substack (and other socials)
We help you turn your chapters into multiple Substack posts, building community off your magic content, and recognizing how you can begin to use the draft of your book as a blueprint for your social media, making it more authentic and whole less frustrating.
05
Create Your Community
We will lead you through the steps and options to start creating your community. You can choose your own adventure as you begin to consider all the ways you can start sharing your work with people you already know – and the many you are ready to meet.
06
The Secret Gatekeeper List
We’ll share a list of agents, editors, and pitching resources to help you start sharing your work with professional gatekeepers, friends, and guides. And also, special discounts to keep writing (and publishing) with Rise Literary.

“Rise Literary helped me to find my voice, and translate it on the page. Kristen is an amazing thought partner and voice of encouragement. I felt like Rise Writers believed in me on the days where it was hard for me to. I am so grateful for their confidence in me and the message I want to share with the world.”
— Dr. Portia Jackson, author of Less You Can
