Editing nonfiction proposals

9/12/2018

I've been thinking more lately about what kinds of edits I find myself advising clients to frequently. What are the most common sticking points?  What are the types of mistakes I see pop up across books of different topics and writers of different skill levels?

Earlier today I posted some advice on Twitter about writing and revising nonfiction book proposals, inspired by realizing I was giving overlapping advice to clients in the last couple of weeks who were tackling a certain kind of proposal. In the unrolled thread below, I've called this proposal structure Examples Of A Phenomenon.

I hope it's helpful to writers who aren't getting the feedback they seek from agents or editors, or who are looking for ways to strengthen a draft before submitting to agents.

This is a really helpful structure to consider when writing book proposals.
