BOOK PROPOSALS—ARE THEY A NECESSARY EVIL?
Join #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Teresa J. Rhyne for a discussion about writing non-fiction book proposals—what purpose do they serve?
What goes in them? Why do you have to do it? And does anybody ever look at it again after the book sells? If you’re writing a memoir do you need a book proposal?
Teresa Rhyne is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of numerous dog-related memoirs, including The Dog Lived (And So Will I), The Dogs Were Rescued (and so Was I), and Poppy In The Wild, which was released in October this year.
The Dog Lived not only hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, but also #1 on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list and #6 on the USA Today best-seller list, has been printed in six different languages, and was on the bestseller list in Brazil for seventeen weeks.
She lives in Paso Robles with her partner Chris and their 3 adorable beagles.
I hope to see you there.
