How construct a book proposal? A good book proposal tells publishers the things they most need to know: what your book is about, why it's important, and to whom it's important.

What would make you want to buy it? The answers just might be the arguments you need to make a sale. M Allen. The Writer (Sept. 04), 34-37.
