The auditorium of the Mabel Tainter Memorial TheaterI have finished my 14-week online workshop titled “Writing the Nonfiction Book Proposal.” See http://www.writersonlineworkshops.com/retail/default.aspx for all the workshops they offer.
My instructor was Gloria Kempton. She was a wonderful editor, instructor and provided moral support as well. In addition to her own writing career and serving as an instructor for Writers’ Digest, Kempton is an independent writing coach. Visit her web site at http://www.writersrecharge.com/
This was an extremely productive experience and WELL worth the reasonable cost. I now have a list of potential publishers, a query letter, and my first four chapters of my book, Ready for Act Three: the Restoration of the Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater. In addition, I have completed the book proposal consisting of an overview with hook, markets for my book, subsidiary rights, spin-offs, my platform, promotion plan, and complementary/competing books identified. I also have a brief outline and a complete outline with photos identified. I have an estimate for the number of pages my completed book will be, including the back matter. And I’ve got someone (Dr. James Miller) to write my foreward. How great is all that?
