So….

You want to write a book – specifically, a nonfiction book for adults? Then you need to write a book proposal, which is the industry standard for attracting a literary agent or publisher. For nonfiction, writers should get a contract before they write their books. Lucy Hedrick helps authors with their book concept, marketing hook, competition research and promotion plan. She uses a “success model” for payment, that is, she does not receive final payment until the author signs a contract to publish their book.

Don’t collect rejection slips!

These are the sections of an “Irresistible” Nonfiction Book Proposal:

• About the book

• The Market

• The Competition

• About the author

• Promotion

• Table of Contents

• Chapter Summaries

• Sample chapter(s)
