What’s a book proposal?
A book proposal is a
document which convinces a publisher to buy your book before
you've written it. Your proposal says, in effect: "Hey,
I've got a great idea for a book which lots of people will want
to buy. Do you want to publish it?"
Think of it as a combination brochure and outline of your
proposed book.
You CAN sell your book the
easy way --- sell a proposal
It's easily possible to make
a fast $10,000, or even a six figure amount. You could even make
seven figures --- over a million dollars for twenty pages of
text.
It sounds incredible, but a
fast seven figures is certainly possible if you have a HOT, hot
idea or have had an experience that hundreds of thousands of
people want to read about.
In his 2001 book about
writing nonfiction, Damn! Why Didn't I Write That?, author Marc
McCutcheon says that it's not hard to make a good income writing
nonfiction: "you can learn the trade and begin making a
respectable income much faster than most people think
possible".
Do you need experience to
sell a book on proposal?
No! You just need a good
proposal. :-)

and assess the market
Here's an excerpt from Day
Two:
Dispelling myths and a word
about confidence
If you're feeling nervous
now that you're about to start this project, relax. Tell
yourself that you will take it step by step. All you need to do
is work at it steadily, a word, sentence and paragraph at a
time, and you will complete your proposal, and then when you've
sold the proposal, you'll complete your book using the same
easy-does-it method.
While we're at it, let's dispel a few myths.
Myth One
It takes a special talent to
write books.
It takes persistence. There are as many different kinds of
writers as there are people. Some are young, some are elderly,
many are in-between. You don’t need any special writing talent
to write books, nor do you need to be highly educated. Many
successful writers have never completed high school. If you can
write well enough to write a letter, you can write a book.
Myth Two
Writers starve in garrets.
Many professional writers make incomes that would make doctors
and lawyers envious. Most make reasonable incomes. If you decide
to make a career of writing nonfiction books, the major benefit
is that if you choose your book's topic with care, your book can
stay in print for many years. For each year that your book's in
print, you get two royalty checks. Let's say that you write two
books a year for five years. At the end of the five years, if
your books all stay in print, you'll be getting ten royalty
checks a year. These ongoing royalties are your nest-egg,
profitable investments in your future.
Day Three: Write the blurb
and outline your book
The "blurb" is the
back cover material for your book --- the selling points which
will get people to buy the book. If you write the blurb before
you write an outline, you're guaranteed not to wander off the
track as you write your book.
Writing the blurb will keep
you on-track as you write your proposal and your book. I've
included two sample blurbs from my published books to show you
how to write a selling blurb.
Day Four: Research your book
proposal, and flesh out your book's outline
The fast and easy way to
research your proposal – you may not need to do any
research at all. You may already know all you need to know.
Day Five: Write your
proposal query letter, and submit it to agents and publishers

letter, with sample letters which have SOLD books.

The fast and easy way to
write your proposal --- everything you need to include to make
sure that your proposal SELLS.

chapter. Revise your proposal

to revise.
7 Days To Easy-Money: Get
Paid To Write A Book also includes a complete, selling proposal,
which got a contract from the first agent who saw it.
