Making a Proposal

Here is a picture of how it all goes down in the writing room. I have a lot of big and heavy reference texts so I usually work next to their bookcase. 

Once you’ve got your north star, what makes your book special, and why you just have to bring it into existence, look at book proposals. 

Pick a publisher and they will have a “submissions” tab on their site where you can download a proposal template. Going through the steps of filling this out will help you hone in on what you are writing. 

Hint: a good deal of this template is asking about your marketing reach. Unfortunately, it’s much easier to get your book picked up if you have an audience of your own who will buy it.  

This brings us to our next topic, marketing. Tune in day after tomorrow!
