7 Days To Easy-Money:
Get Paid To Write A Book

I'll
be including a sample of a book proposal for you to look at, so
you can see what material the proposal contains. This proposal
garnered an agent contract the first time I sent it out. I'll
also include other samples, so that you have plenty of templates
from which to construct your own proposal.
First, read through the book, to see what information it
contains.
Next, work through the book, chapter by chapter. As
you read each chapter, do the tasks and the exercises in the
order in which they appear. Doing them will help you to write
not just one, but many book proposals. Remember, the primary aim
of this book is to help you write your first book proposal and
be well on the way to selling it by the time you've worked your
way through all the chapters.
It's
vital that you concentrate on getting the words down on paper.
As long as you have something on paper you can fix it. As we
work through the material, I'll be encouraging you to work FAST
and not think to much about what you're writing. Thinking has no
business in your first draft. Thinking comes later as you
rewrite.
If
you're on vacation you can set aside a couple of weeks to work
on your proposal. But what if you don't have a vacation due?
Easy! You can fit writing into your busy life. You'll still
follow all the steps, but it will take you longer. Try to stick
to a set schedule. You may decide that you'll complete a chapter
a week, for example.
Work
fast. Work on your book proposal EVERY DAY, even if you only
have five minutes to spare. This is because at the beginning,
ideas are fragile. Time spent with your proposal each day helps
you to build and maintain your energy and your enthusiasm.
