As someone who has spent months sending out queries and racking up rejections, this seminar was a revelation. Peter and Ed cut straight to the heart of the problem: the system is built to reject. Instead, they showed a bold but logical alternative—pitching directly. What struck me was not just the practical advice but the sheer confidence it gave me. For the first time I feel like I can take control of my own publishing journey, instead of waiting passively in the slush pile. Absolutely game-changing. – Margaret S

I had no idea what a book proposal even looked like, let alone why I’d need one. This seminar made everything click. Clear, practical, and packed with resources, it showed me how proposals are the key to getting a deal without having to write the whole manuscript first. I loved the way Peter explained how these skills aren’t just for non-fiction—they actually strengthen fiction projects too. The downloads and the quiz cemented the learning, and I now feel like I’ve unlocked a professional-level tool that most beginners don’t even know exists. – Izzy R

I’ve always dreaded coming up with titles — mine either felt forced or too bland. This seminar was a lifesaver. Peter, together with Alan Samson’s publishing insights, showed how titles can grow naturally out of the writing process, if you encourage them in the right way. The pressure melted away, and I finally understood how to let great titles ‘happen’ instead of forcing them. Whether you’re indie or aiming for traditional publishing, this is one of those rare sessions that changes how you think forever. Highly recommended. – James C

This course about synopses is worth it's weight in gold - as an amateur writer, I was a PROUD self-professed pantster, thinking it made me sound so bursting with creativity that I had no need to bog myself down in pre-planned structure and plot. After recently sending my first query to an agent, and now learning from Peter about different synopses and how they save you hundreds of wasted writing hours, I have realised that my story structure is completely the wrong way round. If only I'd seen that in the planning stage, if there was one! Thank you Peter and other Litopians who contributed to this wonderful course. – Rebecca W.

I always thought writing blurbs was just about summarising the book — no wonder mine fell flat! This seminar completely flipped my understanding. Peter explained exactly what a blurb is supposed to do, and suddenly it all made sense. The examples and breakdowns showed me how a strong blurb can actually sell the book, while a weak one will kill sales before they’ve even started. I left the course not only confident but excited to rewrite my blurbs, armed with clear tools and insights I’d never seen anywhere else. Worth every second. – John D
