聽Book Proposal Workshop
What鈥檚 in a Successful Book Proposal?
Condensing a book-length project into a few-page sales pitch is no easy task, but it is necessary to move from manuscript to published book. How do you make it compelling enough to hook a press? What are the various sections to include? What do publishers want when they ask you to 鈥渋dentify a market鈥� or 鈥渆xplore competing works?鈥� What are the genre conventions of proposal writing? When during the process of writing your manuscript should you draft your proposal?
This hour-long workshop answers these questions, offers samples of the genre, and helps you organize and structure the next (or first) draft of your book proposal.
Faculty will have the option of a follow-up 1-1 meeting with the VIRS Assistant Director of Faculty Writing Initiatives.
This online workshop is offered periodically. To be notified when the next one is scheduled, please reach out to virs@villanova.edu.
