Publishers
Check the calendar for upcoming dates.
$95
Before a
literary agent agrees to represent you or a publishing house offers you a
publishing contract, they must read your nonfiction book proposal.
Neither
agents nor acquisitions editors will read your nonfiction book proposal until
they have first read your query letter; after they read the query letter they
may request your book
proposal.
Your query
letter has to be good enough to entice an agent or editor to want to read your
proposal. Your nonfiction book proposal has to be good enough to serve as the
publishing company’s business plan for your book.
That’s why
you must learn how to write a top-notch query letter and proposal for your
nonfiction book.

o
The
pitching process
o
What goes into
each section of a nonfiction book proposal and why
