Publishing in Color revives shuttered proposal platform as Go, Know, Grow
The tool, built on tech from the defunct ChristianBookProposals.com, relaunches at PIC's October 26-30 fall conference.
Here's a nice case of a good tool getting a second life instead of just quietly dying. ChristianBookProposals.com shut down in August, and rather than let that intermediary function disappear, Publishing in Color bought the tech and is rebuilding it as Go, Know, Grow, with free templates and paid critiques layered on top. If you're a Christian writer of color trying to get a proposal in front of an editor without cold-querying or conference-stalking, this is a door reopening, not a new one appearing out of nowhere.
Why it matters to you: It's a concrete, low-cost path to get a proposal in front of editors and agents without conference access or cold querying.
