You can purchase and download this e-book, and, in minutes, be working toward your publishing success! We have condensed our decades of writing and publishing success into this 50-plus page guide that will take you through the seven critical steps you must follow in order to create a winning book proposal:

1. Learn how to gather that all-critical marketing research data every book acquisition editor requires, including how to accurately estimate the number of books your competitors' books are selling.

2. Learn how to develop a strong mission statement, then create a supporting table of contents.

3. Writing a strong sample chapter is a critical part of your book proposal. We'll share tips on doing just that, including hiring a professional editor.

4. Choosing the right title is critical. We'll show you a process for choosing a great title.

5. Nearly all book publishers want to see your marketing plan. We'll help you put together a strong marketing plan that will sell your proposal and help you and your publisher sell your books.

6. Do you know how to choose the right publisher? We'll reveal numerous resources for doing just that--choosing the best publisher for your book.

7. Learn how to strengthen your proposal to better help you get a book contract even if you have little experience in your chosen subject matter--or if you have only limited writing experience!

BONUS! See what a real winning book proposal looks like! We have included the complete book proposal that we submitted for Chicken Soup for the Fisherman's Soul--the proposal that won us our first of several Chicken Soup title contracts.

Because every aspect of creating a nonfiction book proposal is explained in such detail and with such clarity,  I know I can take on the task immediately. I feel absolutely empowered!"
