YOUR TITLE HERE: How To Craft a Killer Nonfiction Book Proposal
You’ve got an important memoir to share, a statement to make, a story to tell, and you’re serious about turning your book idea into a book deal. The first step is a powerful book proposal that sets your project in front of agents and editors as effectively and professionally as possible. If you’re a movie star, CEO, or sports star, you hire a ghostwriter. If you’re you, you download Jerusha Rodgers’ YOUR TITLE HERE, a streamlined, step-by-step guide to creating a proposal that stands out from the slush pile.
While other proposal guides jam you for twelve-plus bucks and bury you in 300 pages of blah blah blah about the publishing industry (which is changing faster than you can say “blah blah blah”), freelance editor/proposal doctor Jerusha Rodgers blazes a fast, idiot-proof path through the essential elements of a strong proposal, using a template developed by a bestselling ghostwriter with input from top-tier literary agents. NYT bestselling author and “memoir guru” Joni Rodgers, whose proposals have netted more than $1.5 million in advances and options for her clients, chimes in with sage advice and answers to your FAQs.
Ninety minutes from now, you could be light years closer to your goal with a full understanding of exactly what your proposal needs and a clear action plan for getting it done.
BONUS CONTENT: Just to make sure you get the real picture, Jerusha includes a mock proposal you can refer to plus the real deal proposal developed by Joni Rodgers for actress Swoosie Kurtz’s memoir PART SWAN, PART GOOSE.
