Book Proposals FAQ
What's included in a book proposal?
A typical nonfiction proposal includes an overview, competitive title analysis, author platform, marketing plan, chapter outline, and a sample chapter.
Do I need a proposal if I'm self-publishing?
Not necessarily, but many authors find that building a proposal sharpens the book's positioning even before deciding how to publish it.
Will you introduce me to literary agents?
Once your proposal is polished, we can recommend agents whose lists fit your category and make warm introductions where possible.
How long does proposal development take?
Most proposals take four to eight weeks, depending on how much of your platform, research, and sample material is already in place.
