  • You are an author who wants to place your nonfiction book a publishing house
  • You are an author looking to secure an agent for your nonfiction work

ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR

It's become more competitive than ever to get your book traditionally published. Selling your nonfiction book idea, however, is as much a matter of positioning and platform as it is writing skill. And while you don't necessarily need a completed manuscript in hand to get a book deal, you do need a compelling business plan that shows editors and agents that you've done your homework and have a truly salable idea. Assessing your idea, your competition, and your place in the market is what this presentation is all about.

In "How to Write a Bulletproof Nonfiction Book Proposal," Phil Sexton, Writer's Digest publisher and former book sales executive, outlines the key components of a successful nonfiction book proposal, and then demonstrates how to develop each one from start to finish. You'll discover how to craft a proposal that's worthy of your great idea, while providing the information that publishers, editors, agents, and salespeople - even readers - need in order to commit to your book.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • The definition of prescriptive nonfiction, and how it can put you on the path to publication
  • How to demonstrate the need for your book
  • How to position yourself as an expert on your topic
  • An overview of the nonfiction proposal process
  • What to include in your proposal
  • How memoir differs from other forms of nonfiction, but why some of these rules still apply

Sturdy and Functional
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I got this to replace a poor quality divider that I tried first, and this thing is the best! It is easily folded, stands sturdily, easy to assemble, and the fabric looks great. Very very happy with the quality for the price.

Arrived damaged
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel Basic
Unfortunately, very cheaply made. It arrived with one of the connecting tubes cracked horizontally. Possibly due to bad welding. It is quite a headache to assemble. It was delivered on time but returned for a refund.

Not a great experience but a fine product
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel Basic
not enough screws were included to make the wall. I was able to locate more screws to finish building-so I didn’t have to return the product- but it was a pain and I got lucky finding the pieces I needed but it could’ve been a fail and a returned product

Useful, simple room divider
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
All the pieces were accounted for, and some even had extra pieces, maybe just in case they need changing. It was a bit like putting together a piece of IKEA furniture, though I went slower than usual so as not to make any mistakes. It wasn’t too hard to put together myself, and helps give my studio apt a feeling of space and privacy for my bed. I only wish it had a lovely Japanese design on it, but it does amazingly seem to match the wall color.

Multi purpose divider
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I am excited this divider is being used to block off a portion of the dining room where I stored extra supplies. It looks nice!
