This workshop will help you shape your ideas, conceive and explore a concept, and determine the best approach to make a publisher take notice. Harvey Stein offers a nuts-and-bolts analysis of the steps necessary to contact publishers successfully and what to do when they say yes. Topics covered include: * generating book ideas * writing the book proposal * identifying potential publishers * criteria publishers use to evaluate proposals * what to present to the publisher (and in what form) * when to create a book dummy * the pros and cons of using a book agent * ways to sequence the photographs * negotiating the contract to maximize advances and royalties * working with printers * book distribution |
