WriteABookProposal
 

You’ve got a book idea and are determined to become a bestselling author. In fact, you’ve been writing on your book manuscript yet you have no idea where to start the publishing process —
so you haven’t done anything.

Or you have tried to get published and you are tired of collecting form rejection slips. These  letters come without any information about how to improve and get the editor or literary agent’s  attention. What’s your next move?

Or maybe you’ve collected a couple of rejections and are paralyzed about submitting again?

Or maybe the only people giving you the time of day for your publishing dreams are people who want you to pay them to get published. Yes they are willing to produce your books but where do you get wise counsel about how to take the next steps? And wasn't the publisher supposed to pay you for your writing?

You are not alone in your desire to write a book. Most people have no concept of the volume of submissions. According to Get Published! by Susan Driscoll and Diane Gedymin there are “Finished manuscripts for an estimated 8 million novels and 17 million how-to books are lying in desk drawers all over the country waiting to be published.” (p. 64)

Yet you can get a traditional book published if you learn the publishing system. When it comes to nonfiction, editors and literary agents do not read book manuscripts. About 80 to 90 percent of nonfiction books that a traditional publisher contracts are from a book proposal. Many would- be authors are writing their book manuscripts when they need to be learning the craft of writing a book proposal.

Where do you turn to get guided teaching from a publishing professional who knows the inside scoop about books? It’s not the editor’s (or agent’s) responsibility to tell you why they are rejecting your proposal. Because of the massive amounts of submissions, these professionals are forced to use form letters with no information about how to improve your chances of success.

Now you can have this guided instruction through a “Fixed-Term Membership” Site. A “fixed-term membership site” (FTM) consists of weekly content shared via autoresponder members for a specified period of time.

Introducing “WriteABookProposal:” A Step-By-Step, 12-Week Training Program For Starting And Completing an Excellent Book Proposal to send to a publisher!

When you have an idea that you want to get out to the publisher, I can hear you asking, “Why does it take 12 weeks to learn about book proposals?” Good question.

Literary agents and editors are blasted with submissions. Some people estimate there are a million ideas in circulation at any given moment. You only get one chance--one--to make a good first impression. As a former acquisitions editor, I know how these people think. If you have stacks of submissions, you are looking for any reason to say no. You want to have crafted the absolute best and thorough presentation of your idea to bullet-proof your proposal from rejection. The opportunity for your success is well worth the six-month training to learn these necessary skills.

I developed the WriteABookProposal membership site to teach you how to create your own book proposal from scratch...literally get a traditional publisher to take your book idea and make it into a book.

1

Short And Easy To Digest.

Each lesson is only 5-7 pages in length and contains nothing but “meat. ”  Information overload is a very real problem these days. The reader simply has too much information to absorb. Each lesson is purposefully brief (but thorough!) so you can quickly read it and put it into practice.

2

Includes An Assignment To Complete.

Every weekly lesson will give you an assignment to complete at the close of the information. Instead of giving you the usual “this is what I ’ve done ” stuff, I ’m giving you “this is what you do ” stuff! Each week you ’ll have some easy-to-implement action step to complete before moving on.

Builds As You Go.

Every lesson builds as your book proposal develops. Early on we ’ll discuss some fundamentals. From there, we ’ll move into intermediate and then advanced tactics for multiplying and maximizing your site. Beginners won ’t get lost from the start and veterans won ’t get bored as I ’ll throw in some golden nuggets along the way for our experienced crowd.

Forces You To Succeed Long-Term.

While most Ebooks and traditional membership sites (and even some high-priced coaching programs) pile on a bunch of information and leave you to put it all together for yourself, that isn ’t how things are setup in this training program. By giving you information in bite-sized portions for three months (12 weeks!) you ’ll be more likely to actually do something with the content ... and you ’ll be more likely to see real results for yourself.

And, in doing so, I’d make a lot of money. But, many talented people wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the offer simply because it wouldn’t be in their budget.

Listen, I know. I know what it’s like to sink more and more money into empty promises. I know what it’s like to be suckered into buying a high-priced item on an “easy” installment plan. I’ve been there. Trust me, I know.
 

It is for that reason that I am not going to charge the thousands of dollars that I could charge for this program. Instead, I’m going to make it a no-brainer, and I’m going to make it downright affordable for every budget.

The price for a subscription to the WriteABookProposal program is just $27 per month. While the program is 3 months in length, you can cancel anytime you choose. If you’re not seeing results, then it doesn’t cost you anything.

“Terry, that’s a bargain ... seriously ... what’s the catch?”

We both know that the $27 is a drop in the bucket. So, in keeping your guard up with a “suspicious mind” you’d have to ask the question, right? Well, truthfully, there is a catch...
