I need a book proposal My book is quite easy I will give you a copy of my last proposal to my book which was quite successful. and all relevant info and websites. I need this proposal as soon as possible. Please include: 1. Cover page and the proposal’s table of contents. 2. Overview A two-page summary of your entire proposal. Write it last—it needs to sing and present a water-tight business case. Think of it as the executive summary. 3. Target market Who will buy this book? Why will it sell? Avoid generic statements like these: A Google search result on [topic] turns up more than 10 million hits. A U.S. Census shows more than 20 million people in this demographic. An Amazon search turns up more than 10,000 books with “dog” in the title These are meaningless statistics. The following statements show better market insight: Three major sites focus on my topic at [URLs], and none of them have been updated since 2012 Media surveys indicate that at least 50% of people in [demographic] plan to spend about $2000 on their health this year, and 60% indicated they buy books on [topic]. The 5 most highly ranked titles on Amazon on this topic are now all at least 5 years out of date. Recent reviewers complain the books are not keeping up with new information and trends. 4. Competitive analysis This section analyzes competing book titles and why yours is different or better. (Resist trashing the competition; it will come back to bite you.) Don’t skimp here—editors can tell when you haven’t done your homework. Also, researching and fully understanding the competition and its strengths/weaknesses should help you write a better proposal. Whatever you do, don’t claim there are NO competitors to your book. If there are truly no competitors, then your book might be so weird and specialized that it won’t sell. Most importantly, don’t limit yourself to print book titles when analyzing the competition. Today, your greatest competition is probably a website, online community, or well-known blogger. Your proposal should evaluate not just competing print books, but also websites, digital content, and online experts serving the same audience. Google your topic and the problem it solves. What terms would people search for if they wanted information or a solution? What turns up? Is it easy to get needed and authoritative information. You have a very compelling platform and means of reaching your target audience, and they prefer books. You already reach an online market and they are clamoring for a book. You are writing something that isn't best served through an online experience. 5. Author bio and platform Explain why you’re perfect to write and promote the book. More on this below. 6. Marketing and promotion plan What can you specifically do to market and promote the book? Never discuss what you hope to do, only what you can and will do (without publisher assistance), given your current resources. Many people write their marketing plan in extremely tentative fashion, talking about things they are “willing” to do if asked. This is deadly language. Avoid it. Instead, you need to be confident, firm, and direct about everything that’s going to happen with or without the publisher’s help. Make it concrete, realistic, and attach numbers to everything. Thank You in Advance
