I love hearing from author readers or clients who have achieved the success they&#8217;re after. Just last night, I received an email from one of my clients telling me that Houghton Mifflin has expressed an interest in her book based on the book proposal I helped her devise. This is the second book proposal I\u2019ve helped with that has piqued the interest of Houghton Mifflin. With the first one, they issued a contract over the phone within 24 hours of receiving the proposal and they\u2019ve published several other books by this author since.<\/p>\n<p>As some of you know, I\u2019ve written many articles and two books on how to write a book proposal. I taught a book proposal course for many years and I&#8217;ve traveled the US speaking to authors about writing a book proposal. What some of you don&#8217;t know is that I also work with authors on their book proposals and some of them experience success.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent book I wrote is unique in many ways as it responds to your particular proposal whether it is for a memoir, children\u2019s book, travel book, how-to, novel, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If you want expert assistance with your nonfiction or fiction book proposal, order my book now: <em>Propose Your Book, How to Craft Persuasive Book Proposals for Nonfiction, Fiction, and Children\u2019s Books<\/em> (Allworth Press) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Propose-Your-Book-Persuasive-Nonfiction\/dp\/1621534677\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450960936&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=propose+your+book+fry\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Propose-Your-Book-Persuasive-Nonfiction\/dp\/1621534677\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450960936&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=propose+your+book+fry<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or order it from the author here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/ProposeYourBook.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/ProposeYourBook.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are sample proposals in the book.
