Book Publication Proposal Writing
You’re ready to become an author and make that indispensable contribution to the world: your very own book! Hunky-Dory!
Whether you have a fully developed manuscript, or just a well-rounded idea, the future success of your book depends on your Book Publication Proposal.
Book Proposal?
Yes! Your Book Publication Proposal is the essential business plan for getting your book out there — whether you go traditional or self-publish.
Your Proposal helps you and your future publisher get a good grip on: who’s your core audience — the people who benefit the most from what you have to share — and what’s the special treasure that makes your book unique and compelling for your audience.
Writing a Publication Proposal also helps you map out the content of your book (especially if you’ve just started laying it out) and stay consistent with your long-term goals throughout the journey.
