What’s a book proposal?
A book proposal is a document which
convinces a publisher to buy your book before you've written it. Your
proposal says, in effect: "Hey, I've got a great idea for a book which
lots of people will want to buy. Do you want to publish it?"
Think of it as a combination brochure and outline of your proposed book.
You CAN sell your book the easy way
--- sell a proposal
It's easily possible to make a fast
$10,000, or even a six figure amount. You could even make seven figures
--- over a million dollars for twenty pages of text.
It sounds incredible, but a fast
seven figures is certainly possible if you have a HOT, hot idea or have
had an experience that hundreds of thousands of people want to read
about.
In his 2001 book about writing
nonfiction, Damn! Why Didn't I Write That?, author Marc McCutcheon says
that it's not hard to make a good income writing nonfiction: "you can
learn the trade and begin making a respectable income much faster than
most people think possible".
Do you need experience to sell a
book on proposal?
No! You just need a good proposal.

Days To Easy-Money: Get Paid To Write A Book by Angela Booth:
Day One: What’s a book
proposal? Develop an idea for your book
Exactly what a book proposal is,
and an EASY way for you to come up with more saleable ideas for books
than you could write in a dozen lifetimes.
Day Two: Develop your idea and
assess the market
Here's an excerpt from Day Two:
Dispelling myths and a word about
confidence
If you're feeling nervous now that
you're about to start this project, relax. Tell yourself that you will
take it step by step. All you need to do is work at it steadily, a
word, sentence and paragraph at a time, and you will complete your
proposal, and then when you've sold the proposal, you'll complete your
book using the same easy-does-it method.
While we're at it, let's dispel a few myths.
Myth One
It takes a special talent to write
books.
It takes persistence. There are as many different kinds of writers as
there are people. Some are young, some are elderly, many are
in-between. You don’t need any special writing talent to
write books, nor do you need to be highly educated. Many successful
writers have never completed high school. If you can write well enough
to write a letter, you can write a book.
Myth Two
Writers starve in garrets.
Many professional writers make incomes that would make doctors and
lawyers envious. Most make reasonable incomes. If you decide to make a
career of writing nonfiction books, the major benefit is that if you
choose your book's topic with care, your book can stay in print for
many years. For each year that your book's in print, you get two
royalty checks. Let's say that you write two books a year for five
years. At the end of the five years, if your books all stay in print,
you'll be getting ten royalty checks a year. These ongoing royalties
are your nest-egg, profitable investments in your future.
Day Three: Write the blurb and
outline your book
The "blurb" is the back cover
material for your book --- the selling points which will get people to
buy the book. If you write the blurb before you write an outline,
you're guaranteed not to wander off the track as you write your book.
Writing the blurb will keep you
on-track as you write your proposal and your book. I've included two
sample blurbs from my published books to show you how to write a
selling blurb.
Day Four: Research your book
proposal, and flesh out your book's outline
The fast and easy way to research
your proposal – you may not need to do any research
at all. You may already know all you need to know.
Day Five: Write your proposal query
letter, and submit it to agents and publishers
How to write a SELLING query
letter, with sample letters which have SOLD books.
Day Six: Write the proposal
The fast and easy way to write your
proposal --- everything you need to include to make sure that your
proposal SELLS.
Day Seven: Write the sample
chapter. Revise your proposal
Seven days, and you're done! How to
write the professional way, and a step by step easy way to revise.
