Book Proposals

A book proposal is the “business plan” for the book. Our experience suggests that if you (as the author or agent) are unable to “sell” the business case to us, it is unlikely that the book itself will sell in the marketplace. We prefer to receive book proposals with the following sections:

  1. Executive Summary (Describe your proposed book. Imagine a book buyer reading this: why would they order it for their store?)
  2. Target Audience (Is there a demand for your proposed title?)
  3. Competition (What else is there that competes with your book?)
  4. About the Author (Your background: why should you be the one who writes the book?  Your “Platform”.)
  5. Marketing and Promotion (How should the book be promoted? What will you do to promote the book?)
  6. Detailed table of contents.
  7. Sample Chapters.
