Having the idea for a book is the first step to a fruitful writing and publishing experience, but what’s the next step? A winning book proposal will help you find the right agent and publisher. As a literary agent, Michele Matrisciani wrote and evaluated proposals and query letters and knows what works and what doesn’t. A proposal is in essence an advertisement for you and your work. Who are you? Why are you the right person to write this book? What’s the market like? Is there a need for this work? Why should anyone care? These hard-hitting questions are tackled in the book proposal and can make all the difference in grabbing the attention of an agent, editor, or publisher. As a publishing insider, Bookchic is well-versed in these and many other elements of book proposal writing, which are essential in gaining an advantage in a highly competitive environment.
