What's In a Book Proposal? | Episode 2

On the episode of The Book Proposal Podcast, Debra Eckerling answers the question, “What’s in a book proposal?”  A book proposal has a lot of elements, broken down into three areas: concept, promotion, and content. Debra goes through the sections, from title page and sizzle to overview, what’s in the book, and book specs; from author bio, reviews/testimonials, platform, marketing, and series to audience and comps; and from table of contents to detailed outline, and writing sample. However, she notes, the whole proposal is a writing sample. It shows your tone, style, and passion for your topic, along with your plan.  *** Debra Eckerling is a goal strategist, book proposal specialist, and award-winning author and podcaster.
