City Lit: How to write a non-fiction book proposal with Nick Barlay (Online)
Sat 27 Feb 2021 to Sun 28 Feb 2021
Learn how to write a compelling non-fiction book proposal on this interactive and informative short course which will demystify the essentials to give your project the best chance of success.
A proposal is a ‘selling document’, rather than a creative act, and is aimed primarily at attracting a publisher. On this course you will learn how to make sure your proposal captures the form, feel and content of the intended book in a way that allows a publisher to grasp how a book will be organised, how it will sound, and who will be interested.
We will cover different types of structure, how to break down a proposal into clear sections, the attention that has to be paid to commercial issues from budget to market, and how to ensure that the writer’s voice is not lost.
Nick Barlay is the author of four acclaimed novels and one book of non-fiction. He has written award-winning radio plays, short stories and wide-ranging journalism. He has previously taught fiction, life writing and Guardian Masterclasses on writing family history.
