Working with an Independent Editor Panel

Linda Carbone is discussing nonfiction. She stresses that nonfiction authors should work on a proposal rather than a complete manuscript.

The important parts of a proposal she's going over:

• Introduction
• Overview
• Marketing and Promo opportunities
• About the Author
• Competing Books
• Table of Contents
• Chapter Summaries
• Complete Sample Chapter

Note: for more on proposals see WD title How to Write a Book Proposal by literary agent Michael Larsen.
