Discover The Secrets to Getting Published

 

This blog post will be quick and to the point. If you are looking to get a book published and need professional guidance, I want you to pick up and read a copy of Book Proposals That $ell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success, Revised Edition. It’s written by a good friend, W. Terry Whalin. I even supplied a testimonial for his book. And why wouldn’t I? He knows his stuff – and can save you heartache and headache by understanding how most book publishers think when reviewing and author’s query letter and book proposal.  

Whalin, the acquisitions editor at Morgan James Publishing, has also served as a fiction acquisitions editor at Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, for three years. Prior to that, he was the acquisitions editor for David C. Cook for two years. He knows the plight of writers well, having penned over 60 books.  

“In the beginning stages of writing a book, most people start with a blank page and write their entire manuscript,” notes Whalin.  “This approach is backwards. About 80% to 90% of nonfiction books are sold from a book proposal. This mysterious document called a proposal contains many elements that will never appear in a manuscript―yet these details are critical to publishing executives who make the decision about publishing or rejecting an author’s project.”  

In Book Proposals That Sell, Terry reveals 21 secrets to creating a book proposal that every author needs in order to create one that sells. Before you even write a book – and certainly before you approach publishers – please, please read Book Proposals That $ell – unless you are a glutton for punishment.
