Writing Book Proposals

• BOOK PROPOSALS 101 : WHAT PUBLISHERS WANT by Sophfronia Scott - Lots of writers like to talk about writing books. You hear very few talking about writing book proposals. Maybe that's why it's easy to forget that a strong book proposal is the first step to getting a great deal for your non-fiction book. It's where you make the big pitch and tell the editor everything that's going to make him or her want to buy. NEW! ^pop (Added: 3-Nov-2006 Hits: 3 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) | Detail | Go to page | Rate It

Writing Query Letters

• BUILDING A ROCK SOLID QUERY LETTER by Sophfronia Scott - Recently I reviewed a client's query letter. It was a hard working query letter, detailing the marketing prospects for the book, her own glowing credentials and the contacts she possessed that would help her publicize the book. But she left out one teeny weeny thing: she didn't say what her book was about! I used to think query letters were relatively easy, but now I realize that a query has to do so many things that it's easy to forget essential elements.
