Insider Advice On How To Get Your Work Published (Everything Series)

by Meg Schneider and Barbara Doyen

Whether you're writing self-help, memoir, or the Great American novel, you'll need a professionally prepared book proposal to sell it. In The Everything Guide to Writing a Book Proposal, author Meg Schneider and literary agent Barbara Doyen team up to provide the inside scoop on getting your name in print.

Schneider and Doyen fully explain how to:

  • Create a proposal for any genre
  • Know what agents and publishers look for
  • Get out of the slush pile and onto the right editor's desk
  • Rework a proposal using suggestions from an agent or editor
  • Understand and negotiate your contract
  • Deal with rejection-and keep writing!

The Everything Guide to Writing a Book Proposal takes you behind the closed doors of the publishing world, revealing the tried-and-true tips, techniques, and shortcuts that can help you get published sooner rather than later. Reference materials and resources for writers are also included, as well as a list of writers' organizations and clubs.
