What’s a book proposal?
A book proposal is a document which convinces a
publisher to buy your book before you've written it. Your proposal says,
in effect: "Hey, I've got a great idea for a book which lots of people
will want to buy. Do you want to publish it?"
Think of it as a combination brochure and outline of your proposed
book.
You CAN sell your book the easy way --- sell a proposal
It's easily possible to make a fast $10,000, or even a
six figure amount. You could even make seven figures --- over a million
dollars for twenty pages of text.
It sounds incredible, but a fast seven figures is
certainly possible if you have a HOT, hot idea or have had an experience
that hundreds of thousands of people want to read about.
In his 2001 book about writing nonfiction, Damn! Why
Didn't I Write That?, author Marc McCutcheon says that it's not hard to
make a good income writing nonfiction: "you can learn the trade and
begin making a respectable income much faster than most people think
possible".
Do you need experience to sell a book on proposal?
No! You just need a good proposal. :-)

Get Paid To Write A Book by Angela Booth:
Day One: What’s a book proposal? Develop an idea for
your book
Exactly what a book proposal is, and an EASY way for
you to come up with more saleable ideas for books than you could write
in a dozen lifetimes.
Day Two: Develop your idea and assess the market
Here's an excerpt from Day Two:
Dispelling myths and a word about confidence
If you're feeling nervous now that you're about to
start this project, relax. Tell yourself that you will take it step by
step. All you need to do is work at it steadily, a word, sentence and
paragraph at a time, and you will complete your proposal, and then when
you've sold the proposal, you'll complete your book using the same
easy-does-it method.
While we're at it, let's dispel a few myths.
Myth One
It takes a special talent to write books.
It takes persistence. There are as many different kinds of writers as
there are people. Some are young, some are elderly, many are in-between.
You don’t need any special writing talent to write books, nor do you
need to be highly educated. Many successful writers have never completed
high school. If you can write well enough to write a letter, you can
write a book.
Myth Two
Writers starve in garrets.
Many professional writers make incomes that would make doctors and
lawyers envious. Most make reasonable incomes. If you decide to make a
career of writing nonfiction books, the major benefit is that if you
choose your book's topic with care, your book can stay in print for many
years. For each year that your book's in print, you get two royalty
checks. Let's say that you write two books a year for five years. At the
end of the five years, if your books all stay in print, you'll be
getting ten royalty checks a year. These ongoing royalties are your
nest-egg, profitable investments in your future.
Day Three: Write the blurb and outline your book
The "blurb" is the back cover material for your book
--- the selling points which will get people to buy the book. If you
write the blurb before you write an outline, you're guaranteed not to
wander off the track as you write your book.
Writing the blurb will keep you on-track as you write
your proposal and your book. I've included two sample blurbs from my
published books to show you how to write a selling blurb.
Day Four: Research your book proposal, and flesh out
your book's outline
The fast and easy way to research your proposal – you
may not need to do any research at all. You may already know all you
need to know.
Day Five: Write your proposal query letter, and submit
it to agents and publishers
How to write a SELLING query letter, with sample
letters which have SOLD books.
Day Six: Write the proposal
The fast and easy way to write your proposal ---
everything you need to include to make sure that your proposal SELLS.
Day Seven: Write the sample chapter. Revise your
proposal
Seven days, and you're done! How to write the
professional way, and a step by step easy way to revise.
7 Days To Easy-Money: Get Paid To Write A Book also
includes a complete, selling proposal, which got a contract from the
first agent who saw it.
