Quote Logo What Our Clients Say

You just can’t find an easier way to put together a proposal than by using the Proposal Pack Wizard. I’ve used other products before but all they did was present me with a bunch of documents, half of which I did not need in my proposals. These other products actually made the job harder, not easier. Ever since purchasing the Proposal Pack Wizard I’ve actually been able to respond to Request for Proposals faster than ever before. This has allowed me to submit more proposals which, in turn, has given me more opportunities to increase my revenue."

Competitive Analysis

  • Identify key books that could be considered direct competitors.
  • Analyze these books in terms of their content, style, and reception.
  • Clearly articulate what makes your book different and potentially more appealing. This could be a unique approach to the subject, a different methodology, or a fresh narrative style.
  • Discuss any shortcomings or gaps in these competing titles that your book will address.

 

Market and Audience

  • Estimate the size of your target market using available data.
  • Explain why this audience will be interested in your book.

  • Consider partnerships with organizations, online platforms, or communities that align with the book's topic.

 

Outline

  • Provide a detailed chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the book.
  • Each chapter summary should give a clear idea of the content and how it contributes to the overall narrative or argument of the book.

  • Show how the chapters are interconnected and build upon each other.

 

Time Line

  • Establish a realistic timeline for completing the manuscript.

  • Outline the expected timeline for the publishing process, including editing, design, and printing.

 

Samples

  • Include excerpts or sample chapters that showcase your writing style and the content.
  • Choose samples that are representative of the book as a whole.
  • Ensure these samples are polished and reflect the quality of the final product.

 

Author's Bio

  • Present your background, focusing on aspects that establish your credibility and connection to the book's subject.
  • Include any relevant education, experience, or past publications.
