As part of the Advanced Novel Writing workshop, I’ll be preparing a book proposal. What does that consist of?
The book proposal has three components: a one-page query letter, a synopsis of two to four pages, and a chapter-by-chapter outline. That’s what you’ll need after you’ve finished writing your novel and begin querying literary agents. When you enroll in the Advanced Novel Writing workshop, the material I’ll send you will include a sample book proposal which you can use as a model in preparing your own. I’ll critique your book proposal to make sure it’s up to the task of selling your novel, and I’ll send you a list of literary agents who will be right for your book.
