Book Proposals Anybody Can Write: How to Get a Contract and an Advance
Before Writing Your Book
by Elizabeth Lyon
Blue Heron Publishing, 1995
Somehow or other, when women get to their late thirties (and sometimes
even before), an overwhelming number of them want to write about what
they know. It's easy, however, to spend years ditzying around without
getting anywhere, and sometimes just giving up in the process. If you're
a woman who's serious about writing, get a good advisor to help you get
launched -- for just $16.95 you can have excellent step-by-step
instructions as to what publishers are looking for and how to give it to
them. Lyon also has a book for aspiring novelists. |
