BOOK PROPOSALS
Your Book Proposal is your roadmap to a successful
book. If you intend to acquire a literary agent or traditional
publisher, you must write a Book Proposal -
even if you have completely written your book.
The Book Proposal
is actually the vehicle that sells your book! Agents and publishers will scrutinize
every word in your proposal before they make a decision to invest in your project.
If you intend to self-publish, the Book Proposal provides
an excellent guide for outlining your chapters, for determining your target market,
for creating your book promotion plan, and for learning how to differentiate your
topic from the other books that are similar in topic to yours. The
main sections of a Book Proposal include: - Table of Contents (for
your proposal)
- Overview
- About the Author
- About the Market
- Promotions
- About the Competition
- Table of Contents
(for your book)
- Chapter Summaries
- Sample Chapters
"I love the editing you did on my Proposal,
Randy. You are an excellent editor and coach. I hope we can work
together when I start writing the actual book! I’ll implement your
changes right away!" - Lorrie Morgan-Fererro, Red Hot Copy
" I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful
Proposal. With your help, the book is so much better. Words of thanks
seem inadequate. Reading over the Proposal, I am amazed at how timely
our book just may be in today’s market. Your assistance is
so appreciated. The research is thorough and compelling. Heck, if
I received the Proposal, I would want to rep us!" - Mark
Platt
