Today is the first class of my free book proposal course. I’m excited. I always enjoy working with authors on their projects—which is why I do this for a living. Hopefully, there will be several success stories emerge from this course. And word will get out about the value of what I offer and bring me more talented clients.
In today’s class we are discussing the purpose of the book proposal and why I believe that a book proposal is more for the author than the publisher. I’ll go over the various parts to the book proposal—for a novel and for a nonfiction book. We will also examine our book titles and talk about the cover letter and title page. Students will work on these two parts of the book proposal this week.
I have also asked each student to send me a description of their projects so I will be more in touch with what they need throughout the 8-week course.
This course is now full. But if you are interested in the Book Proposal Course or one of the other 5 online, on-demand courses I teach, please check them out at http://www.matilijapress.com/courses.htm.
By the way, when I say, “on-demand,” that means that you can sign up at anytime and choose which day of the week you would like to receive the lectures and assignments. Fees for my courses are: $125 to $200.

I’m finishing up an editing job and may have another one coming in this week, so I’m cutting today’s post short. If you have a burning question or would like me to cover a specific topic related to freelance writing, authorship, publishing, book promotion, etc., just let me know.
