Get Your Book Proposal Critiqued

A very unique and rare opportunity has cropped up on the internet. Alan Rinzler, lifelong editor, is offering to receive book proposals and critique your work for free!

You’re all invited to send in an abbreviated 15-page proposal, fiction or non-fiction, which should include the following elements:

1.  “Hook” or overview (one page)
2.  Chapter outline (three pages)
3.  Platform (one page)
4.  Writing sample consisting of the first ten pages of the book

Please take a look at an earlier post, The book proposal: Here’s what publishers want for more detail on each of these elements.

When you’re ready, send the 15 pages as a single Word document email attachment to me at: alan@alanrinzler.com

This is a very big deal, especially for a first-time writer. If you’ve never been able to get your pitches in the door of a publisher or agency in the past, Rinzler can probably help you end the torture by finding out why.

Better hurry up, as I expect he’ll be inundated with requests. He has already said he can’t get to everyone, so be sure to write an intriguing pitch and get his attention!
