Hi guys it's Peter here again from
writers life and this time a
step-by-step guide to writing a proposal
the ability to write a fantastic book
proposal is an essential skill that
every writer should have so many writers
put all their time and energy to making
their manuscript as perfect as possible
but when it comes to sending it off
panitch when trying to put their
proposal together and this is where they
can really let themselves down the
ability to put together a document
explaining just why your book is worth
that particular editors attention who it
will appeal to a white is unique is so
important for many writers putting
together a proposal doesn't come
naturally however having the ability to
calmly and factually explain why their
manuscripts is worth reading is what
will make an agent or editor initially
sit up and take notice if your proposal
is dreadful they might not even bother
getting to your manuscript at all if you
can't write a decent proposal they may
assume that your book will be terrible
without even giving it a chance so how
do you write an excellent book proposal
here is a step by step guide first
present for your idea
make sure you can clearly and succinctly
explain your story you should be able to
do this in a paragraph or two make sure
you do this first and foremost and make
the plot sound as exciting and
intriguing as possible next make it
obvious you have done your research you
need to state your reasons why this
particular editor or agent would be a
good fit to take on your book make it
personal and show that you've taken the
time to write an individual proposal
for them next be clear about the genre
and your readership an editor will want
to be sure your book will sell and it's
your job to persuade them a proposal
gives you the opportunity to tell them
who is going to buy it and why next give
your USP every new book needs to bring
something different to the market
what makes your book special why is it
something different be genuine and
positive not boastful and back up with
facts where you can this is your chance
to be positive about your book it's not
the time to be self depreciated learn
how to write so you come across as
though you genuinely believe in your
book but don't make outlandish on
evidence claims about it either
talk about your skills and give it some
personality an agent or editor will want
to get an idea of what you are like too
so don't be afraid to let your
personality shine through and include
relevant details about your skills and
achievements to show them your what they
are looking for and next make sure
you're writing backs is up your proposal
needs to be well written and this will
indicate how good a writer you really
are so take the time to make sure your
proposal is clear and has no spelling or
grammatical errors which will make me
seem sloppy and unprofessional
from the outset your book proposal it's
not just a letter explaining why your
book is excellent it is your business
plan and it needs to prove to editors
and agents that you have a marketable
idea that will appeal to a mass audience
a publisher who takes on your work is
investing in it and you submit your
proposal of smart and direct and
appealing as possible to give your book
the best chance of being taken seriously
and don't forget if it's struggling to
write or finish your book our free
writers toolkit can help with it you'll
learn how to overcome procrastination
get organized stay focused and find
types are right and finally get your
book published to get access now while
it's still available simply go to
