Class Description
Do you have a nonfiction book you want to write but don't know how to get started? This course will walk you through the elements of a book proposal and what you need to consider when marketing a nonfiction manuscript. Students will read excerpts from book proposals, and will be given time to practice writing their own with instructor guidance.
Class Format
This class will take place using Zoom videoconferencing. About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting!
