On the episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, I answer the question, “Where do I start?”
Start by getting organized. Create a folder for your book proposal on your computer or in the cloud; then create a brainstorm document for each of the sections. This includes: sizzle ideas, overview, what’s in the book, book specs, author bio, author reviews/testimonials, author platform, marketing plan, series, audience, comp titles, table of contents, and detailed outline.
Now, whenever you get an idea for any of these sections, you have a place to jot it down. Since you are gathering all your notes ahead of time, when you’re ready to start writing your proposal, you have everything you need all in one place.
