We have a lot of chats related to writing fiction, but what about our members who write non-fiction? Trying to get a non-fiction book published is a different process from finding representation for a novel.
Agent Rachelle Gardner says "Let me put it to you straight: If you don't know what a book proposal is, you're not quite ready to approach an agent. You shouldn't even query an agent with your nonfiction project until your proposal is complete."
Why do you need a book proposal for non-fic? Rachelle tells you here: http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Rachelle+Gardner+On+5+Reasons+
Nonfiction+Writers+Need+A+Book+Proposal.aspx
Join us tonight to talk for the first hour about why you need a book proposal, and any questions you may have for the second hour. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
