Samenvatting:

To get your non-fiction book acquired by a commercial publisher, you are going to have to write a book proposal. The Literary Agent's Guide to Writing a Non-Fiction Book Proposal will lead you through the steps to constructing a convincing book proposal that will make the best case possible for your project. Writing a great book proposal shouldn't be a daunting task if you have a great idea for a book. In the book, I lay out the issues you will have to address in the proposal: how to describe what the book is, why it is needed, why you are the best person to write about it, who is the audience, and how will you promote the book when it is published. I also touch on some other subjects important for writers seeking book publication for the first time. How to find an agent, how to compose a query letter, the elements of the book deal, and how publishers decide to acquire a title.
