How To Write a Book Proposal

By Michael Larsen

I was interested in this book, as a blogger who some day dreams of writing more than just snippets of my thoughts. This book was very helpful and answered many questions that someone like me might have about getting into the writing scene. The chapters and sub-chapters are broken down into easy to find and understand sections, making it truly a good resource for someone who has questions about the industry. As an author himself, he had many tips on how to get publishers interested in your work whether you are at the idea phase, or have a partial or complete manuscript. He broke down the sections of a proposal, and included ways to keep the publisher interested while he or she reads each section. Although reading this book is like reading a text book, it communicates exactly what I needed to learn, and will be very helpful as I dream up ideas. This book will stay on my bookshelf, as I am sure to need these nitty gritty guidelines in order to impress the publishers, and make sure my proposal is actually read.
