You might have an amazing book or idea to sell, but the only way you’ll be able to seal the deal is with a strong, persuasive book proposal. Much more than just an introduction to your book, a proposal gives literary agents and acquiring editors the information they need to make the tough decision to take on your work.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Persuade rather than summarize.
• Figure out your target audience.
• Create a market analysis and choose comparison titles strategically.
• Write a bio or have someone else write it for you.
• Define your author platform and explain what you’ll do to make your book a success.
• Create a chapter-by-chapter outline.
• Write a short, sweet and attention-grabbing query letter.
