For those of you who are familiar with my proprietary system ” The 7 Secrets of a Successful Self-Published Cookbook,”  you know that that the “book proposal” is the foundation of the system.

Why? A book proposal, when properly written, is the business plan for your book. The book proposal will be the key to your success whether you self-publish your work, or you submit your work to a traditional publisher.

Either way, you need it.

You must have a winning book proposal to stand out amoungst the piles of manuscripts sitting on the publisher’s desk.

There cannot be a successful book launch without a plan.

That’s why I’ve built the book proposal exercise into my 7 Secrets system. It works wonders for those who want to self publish.

And, if you want to go the publishing route, it will prepare you to submit your work to a traditional publisher.

I want you to be prepared for both, so you have choices. One good method is to go ahead and self-publish first, making sure all of the steps are skillfully executed.

That way, you will be a complete package. A publisher will see that the work has been done, and you and your book will be more attractive to a publisher.

Especially if you’ve already self-published your book and are working your business plan!

Publishers want to know how you are going to market your book. That’s why there is no getting around the book proposal. The book proposal forces you to write your marketing plan.

And through the book proposal template that I use, you’ll be guaranteed that your marketing plan is written in the way the publishers expect. The bottom line here is—you owe it to yourself first.

So through the power of the book proposal, this is what I’d like to help you with. Here’s the scenario:

1. We’ve created your book proposal including your dynamic marketing plan

2. We’ve crafted your unique “personal brand”

3. We’ve set the foundation for your “author’s platform”

4. We’ve identified your ideal customer

5. You’ve written your cookbook

Now, you’ll be ready to go.

If this sounds like a good plan, please contact me. I’m available for a 30-minute consultation at no charge to you.

Here’s to your success!
