What You’ll Learn in This Course
Before you spend countless hours writing a book proposal or fleshing out chapter summaries, you need to know if you actually have a good book idea.
Are you even in the vicinity of what’s selling right now? Is this what publishers are interested in, or is the subject overdone? Does your unique angle have merit? Are you credible to speak on this topic, or should you take a different route? The last thing you want to do is spend hours and hours developing and writing a bad idea!
Here’s what you’ll learn in this 5-video course:
- How to assess (or create!) the premise of your book and ensure that it’s strong
