The Book Proposal

Whether or not you intend to submit your book to an agent or a publisher, it's worth looking at the possibility that a book proposal -- written even before you write your book (for nonfiction) or as soon as you've finished your fiction manuscript -- can provide you with a plan for the entire process of creating, producing and marketing your book.

We are adept at working with authors whose bright ideas about expressing their creative work need the support of a "plan" for taking that expressiveness from mind to manuscript and beyond.

Today, agents and publishers generally don't read manuscripts until they've seen a well-crafted, contextually complete book proposal that captures their imagination and lays out "the big picture" in a way that convinces them that an investment of many months and many dollars is worth their while (after all, publishing is just another business, first and always concerned with "the bottom line." So your "big picture" proposal has to align with an agent's or publisher's "bottom line" mentality before they will even start to read that masterpiece.

We'd be happy to show you some of the work we've done with successful book proposals. Just contact us.
