‘How to Write A Book Proposal’ by Micheal Larson is a classic guidebook on how to write an effective proposal for your book so that it will be published by publishers.
As an aspiring author, I found that this book is rather useful though I already knew most of the things mentioned in the book.
The book is rather thick in my opinion, and I think some of the things ought to be ommitted from the book. But then again, it’s still a good reference book and I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars. Not necessarily a must have in everyone’s personal library, but might be helpful for aspiring authors like me.
