Discover the Secrets to Getting Published. Writing a book? In the beginning stages of writing a book, most people start with a blank page and write their entire manuscript. According to author and acquisitions editor W. Terry Whalin, this approach is backwards. About 80% to 90% of nonfiction books are sold from a book proposal. This mysterious document called a proposal contains many elements that will never appear in a manuscript—yet these details are critical to publishing executives who make the decision about publishing or rejecting an author’s project. In Book Proposals That Sell, Terry reveals 21 secrets to creating a book proposal that every author needs in order to create one that sells.
Terry Whalin is an editor and author of more than 60 books and has written for more than 50 magazines. Several of Terry’s books have sold over 100,000 copies. Terry and his wife live in Southern California.
