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

By Olive Onion


The writing profession is not always easy and selling your book may prove to be difficult to sell. Writing a fiction book proposal is part of this whole time consuming process. These submissions are used for retailing nonfiction works as well as fiction stories.

The novel may be completed before creating a submission for the publishers. Different publishers have different requirements when it comes to proposals and finding out what they are will be advantageous. Doing research before writing the manifesto will be a good idea as the publisher may not need one.

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 will write a manifesto before they actually write their novel. The manifesto will contain the central idea of the novel to give the publisher an idea of what it is all about. In this way the writer can market the novel before writing it in full. The author will then stand a chance to be contracted by the publisher who will expect nothing less than an awesome novel.

This is not always an easy task however and getting an idea across may prove to be difficult. Some manifestos are quite short while others may be quite lengthy. Either way the manifesto needs to be concise and to the point without any unnecessary babbling.

Engaging one's readers by using exciting content is totally advisable. Captivating the readers mind is the key to a successful novel. Every word that makes up the proposal needs to be taken advantage of.

The writer should avoid creating a manifesto that is too lengthy as this may cause the publisher to lose interest in it. If the script is very lengthy then the agent may as well sit down with the completed novel. By reading it the agent will have enough information in order to decide whether the product is worth selling and also whether it could become a bestseller.
