Monday’s book planning tip for authors

The best way you can get ready to write your book proposal is to answer the 22 most important questions that literary agents and publishers want answered.

The 22 questions contained in my 22 Questions mind map will focus your attention on the topics that you should focus on when preparing your book proposal.

I’ll be addressing these questions, and others, during a free teleseminar call, An Author Guide to Book Proposal Planning, on Tuesday, December 1, at 4:00 PM EST.

A new perspective on writing a book

Writing and publishing a book has more to do with planning and process than creativity and inspiration. Instead of the frenzied stress of writing a college term papers the night before they’re due, Published & Profitable offers a unique set of worksheets and mind map templates that guide you through the process of:

• Planning, so you’ll write the right book, and choose the right publishing alternative
• Writing a little each day, rather than waiting till the last minute
• Promoting that begins while you’re planning and writing your book
• Profiting that begins by targeting the right readers and creating a marketing funnel that will build lasting, profitable relationships with them.
