For you novelists out there seeking publication, you may ask yourself, why would I need a fiction proposal? Don't I just need a synopsis and three sample chapters?
My answer:
Since today’s fiction acquisition market has become increasingly competitive, publishing houses are not only interested in stunning stories—they’re looking for saleable stories, ones that will garner a greater market share.
How do they know if your novel could be that book? Through a skillfully wrought proposal. The kind of proposal that woos acquisition editors and marketing folks alike. The kind that stuns the publishing committee and lands you an advance. The kind you send to an agent, and the agent picks up the phone, dialing your number...
I will help you write that proposal.
Here are some of the benefits of the product:
- Over 75 pages of content, including teaching, real-life samples, and templates
