Writing A Fiction Book Proposal Could Prove Really Hard When Unprepared For It

By Mikey Flynn


The writing profession is not always easy and selling your book may prove to be difficult to sell. Writing a fiction book proposal is part of this whole time consuming process. These submissions are used for retailing nonfiction works as well as fiction stories.

The novel may be completed before creating a submission for the publishers. Different publishers have different requirements when it comes to proposals and finding out what they are will be advantageous. Doing research before writing the manifesto will be a good idea as the publisher may not need one.

When dealing with nonfiction books making a proposition is easier than making one for fiction writings. Nonfiction writings are really all about having a field of expertise as opposed to a novel which is actually just a story. There can be a major difference between them. Coming up with a good manifesto will take quite a bit of time and could entail many hours of work from the author. There is no use in taking a shortcut when creating your manifesto as this may not impress your publisher one bit.

Marketing a nonfiction written work may prove to be on the easier side. The topic will be something the author is familiar with and is qualified to talk about. Having the qualifications and having studied the particular topic already puts one a step ahead in marketing the final written work. It is easier to write about a topic that one has knowledge of rather than using your imagination to create an entire novel that is worth reading. If you have a talent for this then it would be to your advantage to proceed with it.

Some writers will write their manifesto before writing their novel. The manifesto should contain the main concept of the story in order to give the agent a rough idea of what the script is about. By doing this the writer may market the story before completing it. The writer will then hopefully be hired by the agent who will want an awesome finished product.

Selling the idea could be hard but getting that idea across to the publisher in a creative way will ensure your success. Manifestos can be brief or long winded and getting to a happy medium takes time. The content in a novel manifesto should be utterly emotional and engaging.

Engaging one's readers by using exciting content is totally advisable. Captivating the readers mind is the key to a successful novel. Every word that makes up the proposal needs to be taken advantage of.

The writer should avoid creating a manifesto that is too lengthy as this may cause the publisher to lose interest in it. If the script is very lengthy then the agent may as well sit down with the completed novel. By reading it the agent will have enough information in order to decide whether the product is worth selling and also whether it could become a bestseller.
