Forged in the Fire Book Proposal

Below is the book proposal outline which resulted in the publishing contract for Forged in the Fire.  If you are in the process of compiling a book proposal, take note of the divisions. Your book proposal must contain the following information in order to communicate to your potential publisher the content, purpose and market for your book.   Under each heading is important information which the publisher wants to know about your book in order to make a decision on whether of not they are interested in publishing your work.

The complete Forged in the Fire book proposal is available in an annotated format in the InkWell Store.  The Annotated Proposal contains complete information from the proposal, as well as annotations which you can apply to your own book proposal. The annotated proposal explains what each division of your proposal should contain, and why this information is critical if you want to convince an editor to consider your complete manuscript.
