When we write a nonfiction book designed to help, teach, or guide others, it’s the results that matter. I love hearing from author readers or clients who have achieved the success they’re after. Just last night, I received an email from one of my clients telling me that Houghton Mifflin has expressed an interest in her book based on the book proposal I helped her devise. This is the second book proposal I’ve helped with that has piqued the interest of Houghton Mifflin. With the first one, they issued a contract over the phone within 24 hours of receiving the proposal and they’ve published several other books by this author since.
As some of you know, I’ve written many articles and two books on how to write a book proposal. I taught a book proposal course for many years and I’ve traveled the US speaking to authors about writing a book proposal. What some of you don’t know is that I also work with authors on their book proposals and some of them experience success.
The most recent book I wrote is unique in many ways as it responds to your particular proposal whether it is for a memoir, children’s book, travel book, how-to, novel, etc.
