WRITING PLAN

This could be the main thing to focus on right now. What is one trying to communicate and effect with writing? Perhaps it is to not impossible to sell a really big plan. That could be a major challenge.

Nonfiction Book Proposal
Most nonfiction books are sold on the basis of a book proposal—a detailed outline and marketing plan for a book. Authors sell the idea in a proposal, then, if things go well, they get hired to write the full book. There are industry-standard marks that a book proposal must hit, and, most importantly, you need to zero in on what exactly your book is about. You will learn all about proposals in this course taught by a literary agent.
