Book proposals.
July 13th 2007 14:57
Good morning everyone,
Hope everybody is good today. Am spending the day writing book proposals and query letters. Have already sent out 7 queries and want to get a proposal ready just in case. Also, just got another contact. A good friend of mine is the president of a large PR firm and his vice - president worked in the publishing industry for a while. Have picked his brain a little and he told me to e-mail me some of my material. Have to rush it to get ready, when you get an opportunity you have to strike quickly. Don't know if he can do anything, but have to try. I have been staying up late all the time, writing into the night. I usually go to bed at 2:00 A.M. Very tired during the day, but must try. I always do my best writing at night. No interruptions, from phone calls, family members or business. I just put on some music, very low so I don't wake anyone and just write. Sometimes, I lose track of time just because I get so involved in what I am doing. I really enjoy the process.With a little bit of luck, everything will pay off. Now, my problem is that I have never written a proposal before this and don't want to ruin my shot. I have been reading every book on proposal writing and trying to come up with something good that will be eye-catching. I'm trying to speak to other people I know who have done this before, but unfortunately, I don't know many who have. I will go at this blindly or maybe try to hire somebody. Anyway, I know it's short today, but have to get back to this.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Later,
Jonathan
