As an author, you must consider yourself the CEO of your book, and the book proposals is your business plan. Most agents and publishers require a proposal before ever setting eyes on a manuscript, and it is a crucial element in getting published. Writing a proposal can also help an author to write the right book for the right audience, to more successfully pitch a book to the right agent or publisher, and to devise a marketing plan that will help him in the most difficult aspect of publishing--promoting the book to his readers. Propose Your Book, How to Craft Persuasive Proposals for Nonfiction, Fiction, and Children's Books offers a clear understanding of the book proposal process in today’s fiercely competitive publishing climate.
