Propose a book or workshop

Want to write a book or teach a workshop with Rosenfeld Media? Or maybe both? We’re glad to talk. Here’s how to get the conversation started: let us know what you’re thinking in no more than one page. Literally, it has to fit on one page.

Your one-pager should:

  1. List your idea’s working title (one that, ideally, is both descriptive and engaging).
  2. Describe your idea in no more than 100 words that address both the challenge or problem to be solved, and what your solution is.
  3. Describe your idea’s primary audience (please be specific; “everyone” or “all humans who design” is too general).
  4. Provide 3-5 take-aways (as bullet points) that explain how your idea will benefit your audience.
  5. Let us know if you’re interested in writing a book, teaching a workshop, or both. Please include your name and email address.

As you assemble your one-pager, your goals are to demonstrate:

  • Your ability to communicate clearly and effectively.
  • How your idea is special and unique.

If you’re feeling creative, frame your one-pager as a press release, or design your book’s cover—just be sure to address the points and goals above.

Please email your one-pager in PDF format to proposals@rosenfeldmedia.com

We review these one-pagers at least once per quarter. If we click with your idea, we’ll be in touch to move the conversation forward and work with you to develop a full proposal.

Thank you!
