This focused workshop is designed for therapists, counsellors, coaches, and other helping professionals who are considering the traditional publishing route for their books. Learn how to create a compelling book proposal that will catch the attention of literary agents and publishers in the competitive non-fiction market.
In this practical session, we’ll cover the most common aspects of crafting a strong book proposal to pitch your book to literary agents. You’ll gain an overview of what publishers and agents look for, how to summarise your book into a compelling elevator pitch and highlight your book’s unique selling points. We’ll discuss comprehensive market analysis, including samples and chapter outlines and highlight your author platform and credentials.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of the proposal process and a solid foundation for creating a proposal that effectively presents your book idea and your capabilities as an author.
