Sell Your Nonfiction Book

You may know your subject inside and out, but writing a nonfiction book and getting published requires a separate set of skills. Hundreds of thousands of nonfiction manuscripts are penned each year and never get published, despite the lofty dreams of the authors and in many cases, the well-composed manuscripts they've written. Despite these odds, it does happen. Tens of thousands of nonfiction books are published every year and yours can get published too! Sell Your Nonfiction Book covers everything you'll need to know to develop your idea, write a book, and sell it to a publisher. It covers every step beginning with developing the initial idea for a book to storyboarding, researching, writing and finally selling the book to a publisher. To get your nonfiction book published, you'll need to know how to develop your ideas and write a book that stands out from the crowd. And you'll also need to know how to get editors' attention, how to work with agents, editors and publishers, and ultimately how to sell your book to a publisher.
