Fiction Proposal Tutorial

Description

Want To Learn The Secret That All Published Authors Know About Selling A Book To A Publisher Or An Agent?

It’s called a masterly crafted book proposal. It’s not rocket science, but it is a skill you’ll need to learn to go to the next level in your publishing career. And I’ve got a well researched and practical tool that will help you write one–a proposal tutorial.

I’m so excited about my fiction proposal tutorial! Why? Because it will empower you to write the kind of proposal that grabs an agent or editor by the throat and won’t let go.

Here’s what you get in the tutorial:

1. - How to write a query letter, complete with proper format and examples.
2. - Step by step teaching through each section of your proposal (Market Analysis, Comparative Analysis, Marketing, Alternate Titles, Etc.)
3. - Real-life proposal examples.
4. - A template in Microsoft Word that you can copy and paste into your own document. All you do is answer the questions and a proposal is born!
5. - Over 70 pages of instruction.

But don’t just take my word for it. Hear what industry professionals have to say:

“Mary knows how to write a proposal that gets an editor’s attention: well-organized, persuasive, and with the information I need to make a decision.”- Terry Glaspey Director of Acquisitions and Development Harvest House Publishers

“As a literary agent, I saw a lot of proposals. Mary’s are top-notch—comprehensive, thoughtful, well written, and professional. I’m proud to send them to the best publishers in the business.”
- Beth Jusino, former Literary Agent

“Mary’s proposals include the straightforward facts that publishers need with a personable style that publishers want. Great research, great voice, great proposal. Mary does an excellent job selling herself without seeming to sell herself.”
- Andy Meisenheimer, Freelance Editor

“Mary’s book proposals reflect her intelligence, wit, and charm, as well as her high level of craftsmanship as a writer. And just as important, her concepts are fresh. She has no interest in covering the same ground that has been plowed already by other authors. That’s important to a book editor who is glassy-eyed from reading stacks of proposals.”
- Ron Lee, senior editor, WaterBrook Multnomah

So far, using my proposals, I’ve sold eleven books to major publishing houses. And, through this tutorial I’m offering, as well as my book mentoring I do over at The Writing Spa, I’ve helped many newbie authors get published.

Now, if you love the idea of having a book mentor, someone to shepherd you through the publishing process, The Writing Spa is the way to go. I’ve hired my nonfiction writing friend Leslie as well as my novel writing friend D’Ann. Together, we help you with the nuts and bolts of not only shaping your proposal, but we spit-shine your manuscript and encourage you to become a better writer.

But if you’re a self-starter who wants to tackle this book publishing thing with a terrific tool in your back pocket, simply purchase the nonfiction proposal tutorial (for nonfiction … I suppose that’s obvious) or the fiction proposal tutorial (if you’ve written a novel.)

A Few Points Before You Purchase:

1. If you’re writing nonfiction, DO NOT WRITE THE WHOLE BOOK. Editors and agents only want your proposal plus three sample chapters.

2. If you’re writing fiction, you MUST WRITE THE WHOLE BOOK. Novels are such difficult creatures that an editor must see you can pull off the entire story arc. Used to be you didn’t need a proposal. But in today’s publishing climate, it gives you the needed professional edge to grab an editor’s attention.

Here’s the skinny: You either need to know how to sell your book or you don’t.  If you need to know, then my e-book will save you dozens of hours of time trying to figure out what every author already knows.  For the cost of a pair of movie tickets and a box of bad popcorn, I can teach you how to write a professional proposal.  That knowledge will last you a lot longer than the popcorn will.
