Guest: NAIWE’s Faith-Based Writing Expert Mary DeMuth

You’re excited about a topic, so excited that you’ve written a book about that topic, but how do you get that editor or agent to sign on to your project? Writing a book proposal is very different than writing the manuscript of your book, and it can be intimidating. The writer needs to market the book, knowing the book in a different manner, within the publishing industry. In this webinar, learn how to sell your book and yourself through a proposal.

Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class:

• How to identify and articulate your passion before you write the book

• What belongs in the Introduction and About the Book sections

• Where to find information for the About the Market section

• What to put in the Comparative Analysis section

• How to construct a realistic Marketing Plan

• What to say in the About the Author section

• How to shape a convincing Conclusion

• What to include in Chapter Outlines

• What you need to know about the first three chapters that most publishers request
