“Write Your Damned Book Proposal Already!”
In Write Your Damned Book Proposal Already!, you can expect 6 weekly group web teleconference calls covering the key components of a successful non-fiction book proposal. The calls will be led by Deesha Philyaw, owner of …the last word. LLC. Each week’s call will include a mini-lecture, practical strategies to get you from concept to completion, and a Q&A period. Topics covered will include:
- Why a book proposal is necessary
- What agents and publishers look for in a book proposal
- What should be included in a book proposal
- The role of research in the proposal writing process
- Determining the audience/market for your book
- Building your author’s platform
- Your proposal is complete…now what?
Additionally, you will receive:
- A reading of your completed or partial proposal plus two (2) 30-minute individual consultations with Deesha (via phone or chat), all scheduled at your convenience prior to, during, or within 6 months of completing the webinar
- A bonus 7th week “Ask the Agent” teleconference event with Danielle Chiotti, formerly a senior editor at two notable publishing houses, and currently an agent with Upstart Crow Literary agency
- Feedback on your completed or partial book proposal from Danielle Chiotti via a one-page checklist (within 6 months of completing the webinar)
- A complimentary e-book, Get Published and Get (Well) Paid!, by Yvonne Bynoe, founder of Soulful Affluence, a resource for “starving artists” who desire to become financially thriving creative entrepreneurs
