Success – Agents – Book Proposals 4

Posted by Maralyn D. Hill | Books, Excerpt from Success, Tips, Writing |

This excerpt is from “Success, Your Path to a Successful Book,” by Maralyn D. Hill and Brenda C. Hill.

Remember, before you send the book proposal, send your one page query letter. It will be a waste of time to send the proposal unless you have been asked to submit it. We have heard a few agents say they would read a one page attachment.

When sending a book proposal or a query letter, we find the words of Philip Gerard applicable, “Write an opening that catches the reader’s attention and an ending that leaves a lasting impression.”
