Synopsis:

Write the Perfect Book Proposal Revised Edition
Jeff Herman and Deborah Levine Herman

"A submission from Jeff Herman always gets moved to the top . . . his new book will show you how to move to the top."-Frederic W. Hills, Vice President, Simon & Schuster

An updated edition of the definitive guide to crafting a book proposal that sells

Publishing wunderkind Jeff Herman started his million-dollar literary agency when he was just twenty-six years old. His classic guide, Write the Perfect Book Proposal, has now been updated and revised to provide aspiring writers as well as established writers with everything they need to know to sell a book proposal in today's competitive publishing world. He takes readers step-by-step through ten proposals that really sold to major American publishers, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each. He also explains how to position the book to make it stand apart from the competition, what editors are looking for, how to write an effective sample chapter, author biography, and query letter, and much more.

Jeff Herman (New York, NY, and Columbus, OH) is the founder of the Jeff Herman Literary Agency and the author of the classic Writers Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents. Deborah Levine Herman (New York, NY, and Columbus, OH) is Vice President of the Jeff Herman Literary Agency.
