Help for fledgling writers
This book gives an insider's view of the book publication process. It is written from several angles of publishing, which gives much needed info to newbie writers and helps them to understand the process a book goes through to reach the shelves of a bookstore. Very helpful.

Finally, help for the new writer!
I am a new writer and am currently reading Book Proposals That Sell. I love it! I am only on page 47 but I already feel so enlightened! FINALLY, someone has sent the elevator down from the Ivory Towers of the publishing world to us common folk on the ground floor!! Just in the first few pages I feel educated, aware and tuned in. Thank you for writing this book just for me!

Practical Book
This book includes all the components required to put a non-fiction book proposal together. It identifies critical key statements, activities and subjects to research and include.

I found myself writing a heading for each section to detail in my own proposal, leaving a space to work with it later, and continuing to read. I got a good overview and was left with the key sections I needed to work on.

What I was left with were clear statements and paragraphs for my proposal, with missing sections left blank for research or further thought. It was well organized.

The examples at the back helped me to bring it all together.
