This invaluable guide features step-by-step instructions for developinga winning Book Proposal package and includes information on: * How to find the right publisher for your work; * The essential elements of a Book proposal package; * Researching the marketplace; * Presenting hard evidence about the sales potential of your work; * Useful contacts; * Book contracts, manuscript appraisal, agents. … and much more.
