Writing A Fiction Book Proposal Can Prove Quite Hard When Unarmed For It

By Mikey Flynn


This article shall be all about using writing skills to sell your novel. Writing a fiction book proposal can be extremely difficult and time consuming. These manifestos are sometimes used for selling nonfiction works but may be used in selling fiction novels as well.

Some people may write their novel first before writing up a proposition to give to the publisher. It depends on the actual publisher's needs. It is very important to discover exactly what the agent requires before creating a manifesto. The agent might not even want a manifesto at all.

Creating a manifesto for a novel is much more difficult than creating one for a nonfiction work. Nonfiction works are more about a particular subject that one can study in contrast to a novel which simply tells a story. There are some definite differences between the two types of work. Designing a superb manifesto could give the author many days of sweat and tears but it will be worth it in the long run. Being in a hurry when designing your proposal will only lead to the dissatisfaction of your publisher.

Marketing a nonfiction written work may prove to be on the easier side. The topic will be something the author is familiar with and is qualified to talk about. Having the qualifications and having studied the particular topic already puts one a step ahead in marketing the final written work. It is easier to write about a topic that one has knowledge of rather than using your imagination to create an entire novel that is worth reading. If you have a talent for this then it would be to your advantage to proceed with it.

Some authors write their proposal before finishing their original novel. The whole idea of the proposal is to convey the main theme of the story so that the publisher can decide whether to publish the novel. This enables the writer to sell the idea of his novel before actually completing it. The aim is to get the publisher to hire the author to complete the work.

This may not always be an easy job and getting the idea across could prove to become difficult. Some manifestos end up being rather short while others end up being rather lengthy. Either way it should be concise and should not contain any unnecessary jargon.

When it comes to novel manifestos the content should be very gripping and colorful. Engaging one's audience and causing them to keep reading until the story comes to an end is advisable. Certain people have talents for creating stories to engage the human mind. The manifesto must be brief but thrilling and one must make every single word count.

One should avoid making the offer too long and boring as the agent may take offense to this. By reviewing this, the publisher should be able to ascertain if it will be worthwhile to publish it. The offer may even lead to a bestseller resulting in a happy author as well as a rich publisher. When everything works out for the best, our future may be just as ideal as you want it to be, but you will have to be prepared to fight to get it done.
