Write the proposal that gets you published

Is writing a book proposal actually harder than writing the book itself? Not if you have Bulletproof Book Proposals. Agent Pam Brodowsky and author Eric Neuhaus guide you through the process in ten easy steps. In the first part of the book, they simplify the process with clear instructions and exercises that will help you start and finish your own book proposal.

In addition to providing step-by-step instruction, Brodowsky and Neuhaus have also included twelve sample proposals that successfully sold book projects. Each of these proposals accomplished what it set out to do--sell a book to a publisher. Not only are there twelve excellent proposals for you to model yours after, but there are also comments from the author, agent, and editor for each proposal. You'll get the inside scoop as to how these authors wrote their proposals and why agents and editors were hooked by them. Brodowsky and Neuhaus also provide comments on the proposals, pointing out what details make these proposals effective and how you can emulate their success.

Bulletproof Book Proposals leaves you with no excuses. Now there is nothing stopping you from selling your book!

Packed With Publishing Insight from Various Viewpoints

Over the years, I've written dozens of book proposals. For the last five, years, I've been a book acquisitions editor and reviewed hundreds of book proposals. You may wonder why I'd need to read this book. I did. There is always something new to learn and there is not ONE way to create a book proposal.

Literary Agent Pam Brodowsky and Eric Neuhaus have created a well-crafted ten step plan for proposal creation. In each section, they have included the particular portion of their proposal for BULLETPROOF BOOK PROPOSALS. The reader goes from defining the idea to packaging the proposal.

For the second section of the book, they include a dozen sample nonfiction book proposals on different topics, with different publisherss (some of them the same publisher) and different literary agents (some proposals don't have an agent and a number of them were from Pam Brodowsky--where she would have had the greatest access to this material). Each proposal includes insightful comments about why it is shaped in a particular way.

The overall result of BULLETPROOF BOOK PROPOSALS is to provide the reader with more insight into this crucial process to selling a nonfiction book. I recommend this title.

For every 100 book proposals submitted to publishers by hopeful authors, two will make it and the other ninety-eight will not.

For every 100 book proposals submitted to publishers by hopeful authors, two will make it and the other ninety-eight will not. That's why literary agent Pam Brodowsky and successful author Eric Neuhaus teamed-up to create a 'how to' manual of instruction and advice to help aspiring writers seeking to break into print better the odds against them. The first part of "Bulletproof Book Proposals" addresses the book proposal writing process through clear instructions and exercises, along with a ten-step approach designed to teach the author how to craft an overview of their writing project that is clear, concise, and engaging; conduct a thorough competitive-book analysis; define primary and secondary markets, and write effective chapter outlines and summaries. The second part of "Bulletproof Book Proposals" presents twelve real-life book proposals that were successful in getting published. Also featured are informative commentaries from the authors and agents of those proposals, as well as the editors who accepted them for publication. "Bulletproof Book Proposals" is a complete, 'user friendly', and strongly recommended do-it-yourself seminar workshop in the creation of effective, successful, profitable book proposals - a skill that is a fundamental necessity for anyone seeking to create a professional writing career for themselves. Also very highly recommended from Writer's Digest Press are two other references for aspiring authors: "The Glimmer Trains Guide To Writing Fiction" and Bill Brohaugh's "Unfortunate English: The Gloomy Truth Behind The Words You Use".

Really useful!

This is an absolute help in writing a proposal. The information is concise, but the examples are priceless. You can adapt your copy easily. Best one I've read.


It's Good Because It Offers Real World Advice for the Modern Times

I've been working on my first book proposal for over a year. In the process I have read 4 book proposal books, including the "classics" by Larsen and Herman. I figured they've been around for so long, and you always see them referenced as quality books, so I should read them. They are good books if you want a general idea of how books historically have been sold. But what you get from Bulletproof is a very modern take on the topic. This is vitally important because while the Larsen and Herman books offer timeless advice, this book tells it like it is in today's publishing world.

The book also includes insights from authors, editors, and agents which proves extremely valuable as you craft your own proposal because you get a real sense for your audience. This book propelled my proposal to completion because it answered those nagging questions I had about what editors and agents are looking for today, not 10 years ago. I highly recommend this book for first timers and veterans alike because there is some very excellent, fresh advice included.
