Writing a Winning Book Proposal

I wrote this eBook several years ago. However, I have recently updated it. There are now two versions: one for fiction and one for non-fiction. You can purchase and download either—or both!

These eBooks are designed to help you communicate your basic book idea in a way that has the best chance of getting the most attention. It also walks you through real-world examples.

I would also suggest that you also read my article, Advice to First-Time Authors. If you met with me one-on-one, this is what I would tell you.

Disclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links in the post above are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers.

Write Winning Book Proposals

Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”

Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.”
