Today…a commercial break. Here’s a plug for a workshop I’m giving in the N. CA Bay Area. I hope some of you can attend. There is still room and you can pay at the door. If you are a California Writers Club member, it’s a real deal! This will also give you a taste of my two-day workshop on the same topic. Come! See what it takes to create a successful book–one that sells to readers and to publishers.
9 Ways to Make Sure Your Nonfiction Book Succeeds (Before you Actually Write It)
A 3-Hour Workshop Led by Nina Amir
October 10, 2010; 10 am-1 pm
$9 (CWC members) or $29 (CWC non-members)
703 Atlantic Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501
This workshop will show you how to use the step-by-step nonfiction book proposal PROCESS to help you hone and focus your ideas so you can create traditionally published or self-published books that sell—to publishers and to readers.
This is NOT a workshop on how to write a nonfiction book proposal (although you’ll learn a lot about it).
This IS a workshop about how to use the nonfiction book proposal writing process to conceptualize both the creative and the business aspects of a successful nonfiction book.
You will leave this workshop with an understanding of what it takes to write a successful nonfiction book. You will clarify your book’s idea, message and content so your book finds a place on bookstore shelves. You also will learn how to use each section of a nonfiction book proposal as a guide for creating a book that will sell to readers and to publishers. Additionally, you will write a 25-word “pitch,” list benefits, create a table of contents, and begin a chapter-by-chapter synopsis for your book.
