The Essential Building Blocks of an Academic Book Proposal

At some point every scholar who wants to get their book published starts with the same question—“what should I be putting in my book proposal?”

The answer isn’t as transparent as it might seem. This free guide will share the key components of a scholarly book proposal. It not only tells you what they are, it tells you why they’re there and what the people who read your proposal are hoping to get out of them.

    "Laura sees the forest and the trees, and her ability to make big-picture suggestions as well as more minute, detail-oriented ones makes for a wonderful combination in an editor. Her insightful and encouraging feedback helped me to home in on my book’s main points and arguments, and, equally important, made me excited to revise my work. I recommend her highly and will definitely work with her again."
