6-Things to Include in Your Book Proposal Under "Content"

A book proposal is a quick view of your book content chapters, competition, marketing plan, demonstrating your understanding of your subject and how to work it into the marketplace. It presents a problem and the steps you took through your book content to solve the problem.

Some writers hire the preparation of the book proposal out to other professionals. If you decide to do it yourself, here are some tips. You also may want to purchase a copy of the Writers Market.

1. Goal – What is your goal in writing this book? Define,

describe and identify the message.
