“Writing the Nonfiction Book Proposal” | Presented by Emily Grosvenor
Wednesday, January 20, 2016, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
At the Salem Public Library (Anderson Room B)

From a Nonfiction Book Idea to a Nonfiction Book Proposal

How many books do you have inside? If everyone has at least one novel in them, then we all have at least a dozen nonfiction books. Learn how to shape, format and write your nonfiction book idea in a book proposal.

Whether you’ll be presenting it to literary agents and publishers or just using it as a roadmap for self-publishing – the book proposal is a great tool for writers.
