Their team of bestselling authors is a great resource for us and I definitely recommend their services to any author or publisher looking for top-quality writing services with a well-managed process.”
What’s in a Book Proposal?
Book proposals vary in size and structure, though most contain some of the following sections.
- Overview: An executive summary of your book and why people would want to read it.
- Author Bio: Why you’re the right author for this book.
- Comparable Titles: An evaluation of similar titles and authors, how well those books sold, and why your book fills a void in the market.
- Annotated Outline: Captivating chapter descriptions
- Author Platform and Marketing Strategy: A detailed analysis of your ability and strategy to sell books.
- Sample Chapters (optional)
