Kick off the new year with clarity, confidence, and a powerful plan for your book! Join the Women’s National Book Association – San Francisco Chapter for a Lunch N Learn with Debra Eckerling — The Book Proposal Expert — as she guides you through the essential elements of crafting a compelling, industry-standard nonfiction book proposal. Whether you’re at the spark-of-an-idea stage or polishing your pitch, this session will help you understand what agents and publishers are looking for and how to present yourself and your book in a way that showcases its value and marketability.
This Lunch N Learn is also ideal preparation for Pitch-O-Rama, so your proposal is ready for when you get requests at the event. Debra will walk you through the proposal sections: concept (overview, etc.), context (promotion and marketing), and content (detailed outline and sample chapters) and what it takes to stand out. She will also share tips for how to get it done while juggling everything else in your already busy life!
Bring your lunch, your questions, and a notepad and pen. You’ll leave energized, informed, and ready to take your next step toward getting your book out into the world.
