$12.00

In How to Write a Successful Book Proposal in 8 Days or Less, author Patricia Fry takes her 30 years of experience and eight in-depth lesson plans from a writer’s course that she taught and turns them into an easy to follow at your own pace e-book. This e-book takes the reader and aspiring writer step by step through every detail necessary to writing a winning book proposal. Fry, starting with the basics, begins the book with a definition of what a book proposal is and continues on with great do-it-now tips that take the reader through the entire process.

Using just the information in Fry’s book, an aspiring writer can easily complete a book proposal in eight days. Each lesson in the book is broken down with clear information and a daily assignment. These lessons include everything a writer will need to know about a book proposal from the cover letter to the sample chapters. Through each lesson, Fry not only explains the importance of each page or section but also gives examples and direct instructions for getting them done. The section for marketing analysis goes beyond basic facts and includes concrete examples of how to compare your book to others already on the market.

The daily assignments alone make this book a must have. By incorporating concrete assignments, Fry makes the writing of your book proposal a necessary product of your learning. Unlike other books of this type, Fry’s daily assignments require that the reader actually work on their book proposals, not just read about how to write a great one and hope to find the willpower to do it later.

To enhance the book further, Fry incorporates recommended reading, tips on finding an agent, marketing strategies, tips on handling simultaneous submissions and a great section on how to follow up with a publisher.  

In the end, How to Write a Successful Book Proposal in 8 Days or Less, could easily become a staple book in the library of many aspiring writers.
