Write To Sell
Be guided through the process of crafting a compelling nonfiction book proposal, plus more from Writer’s Digest!
You are invited to submit a 10-page nonfiction proposal for critique (excluding sample pages). All submitted nonfiction proposals are guaranteed a written critique by Gina Panettieri, the Founder and President of Talcott Notch Literary Services.
The nonfiction market is full of opportunity, but to succeed in selling your book, you need to master the art of writing a nonfiction proposal. Competition is fierce and publishers are becoming more and more demanding. You need to not just be able to explain your concept clearly and engagingly, but prove the demand for the book and why you’re the best writer for the job.
In Write to Sell: Nonfiction Proposals, Gina Panettieri will guide you through the process of crafting a compelling nonfiction book proposal. This live webinar will cover essential topics such as identifying and analyzing the target audience, understanding market trends, and writing a persuasive and well-structured proposal. Participants will also learn how to present themselves as the perfect writer for their book and compose the perfect pitch to grab an editor’s or agent’s attention.
