WHAT GET SIGNED ALUMNI ARE SAYING

“I count myself immeasurably fortunate to have stumbled upon Lucinda's [programs] in the nascent days of my book journey… The program was invaluable. I loved how her evergreen courses demystified the end-to-end proposal process—from "big idea" to platform-building to publisher submission—and were coupled with Lucinda's bespoke feedback on every part of my proposal as I drafted it. Lucinda is an aspiring author's secret weapon. By August, I was thrilled to be offered representation… and by December, I had a book deal!”

—Sara McElroy, Women Who Walk

Get Signed was everything I hoped it would be. Having already written a book, I was trying to understand the ins and outs of the publishing world and get some guidance with regards to my next steps. Lucinda gave me all the clarity I needed. She answered any questions I could dream up, grounded me, inspired me, and set me straight on my road to getting signed.”

—Troy Hadeed, My Name is Love

The biggest takeaway from Get Signed is the belief in myself that I could get my work published. Lucinda made me feel it was possible. She saw something in my writing and helped me cultivate it. With her course and workshops, I was confident to submit my work for publication. It’s been a long journey, but finally, seeing my name in print is one of the most satisfying feelings I’ve ever experienced. Thanks, Lucinda!                                      

—Melissa Houston, Cash Confident 


“Get Signed is an excellent masterclass! It’s packed with valuable information, insider insights, and actionable tips. Most importantly, it delivered on its promise—I’m proud to say after implementing the advice of the course and Lucinda, I did indeed get signed with an agent and landed a book deal with a major publishing house! I definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to successfully navigate the publishing process. Lucinda is the best.”

—Dr. Mary Anderson, The Happy High Achiever

“Lucinda's prowess? She is able to guide a creative person's mind—which fires in a million divergent directions—towards a single, poignant, powerful idea… and then helps refine the idea to ensure it resonates with readers. Masterful!”

Serena Quaglia

“Lucinda is especially adept at navigating a group of very different people (who are at different points in the process), making sure everyone gets heard and learns a lot, and ensuring that all participants get connected and learn something from each other as well. The program is interesting, illuminating, and makes what can be an overwhelming process navigable, and fun!”


—Leanne Shear

“I owe Lucinda Literary a weekly review for how motivated, inspired, and focused its courses have made me about my writing. I have taken several courses with Lucinda Literary, and I always feel welcome and engaged. I love having to write up a pitch...because it is an excellent opportunity to stay on track with my query preparation and finishing my book. Thank you!”
