The Write Stuff
This blog is about writing. Not reporting or journalism, but creative writing -- poetry, short stories, novels. And not just about the finished product but how we, as writers go about the process, and the trials, tribulations, blood, sweat and tears that go along with it. I'll also talk about another process -- publishing. Finding the right literary agent or publisher, self-publishing, e-publishing, what are the options and what are the chances of breaking into print? That's about it. I am by no means a best selling novelist or have all the answers, but consider this the beginning of a dialogue among a group of people who put pen to paper (okay, finger to keyboard) to release something inside us, something that must be shared.

Non-fiction book proposal, cont.
Let's look in more detail at three parts of the non-fiction book proposal that are closely related. The Overview or summary should be one or two killer sentences that capture the essence of your book. You can also add a lengthier version (a page or two), but you need to be able to capture the main idea in one or two sentences. The table of contents. Pretty self-explanatory. List all the chapters you expect to be in the final version of the book. The outline is basically an expansion of the table of contents. Take each chapter and provide a short summary of each. Next time, we'll continue to break down the parts of the non-fiction proposal. Keep writing. 0 comments from 0 users
