You've always wanted to write a book, everyone's told you that you should write a book, but somehow you've never gotten around to it. Or you've started a book many many times but always put it aside. This seminar will help demystify the process of writing a book and get it published while emphasizing the importance of research, writing, and rewriting, for nonfiction, and of creativity and having a fresh plot and characters, for fiction.
This workshop provides the nuts and bolts of writing a nonfiction book proposal, including developing a book outline and marketing plan, so you can interest a literary agent or approach a publisher on your own. Creating a workable schedule for taking your book from idea to printed copy. How to find an agent or a publisher. What book authors need to know about the book publishing industry. Self-publishing pros and cons will also be discussed.
