What you'll learn in this nonfiction writing course:
Non-fiction books (anything from memoir, pop culture, true crime and self-help) are sold to publishers on the basis of a proposal which is a 20-50 page document pitching the book’s content and marketability and is supplemented by sample chapters. You write the proposal before you actually write the book.
Taught by the owner and New York bestselling author, Kambri Crews, the workshop will cover these parts of a proposal: overview (the basic idea), market (who will buy), competition (similar books), platform and promotion (how it will sell), author (about you), table of contents, chapter summaries and sample chapters.
Kambri will share her publication experience and the actual proposal for her now-published and New York Times bestselling memoir Burn Down the Ground. This proposal resulted in her meeting with seven publishers and an auction with three publishing houses vying for the rights.
