The Art of the Nonfiction Book Proposal [Kathleen Flinn]

Ever since the explosive success of In Cold Blood, the style of nonfiction that reads like fiction continues to evolve. For anyone who has a compelling story in mind, you’ll learn what editors and agents look for in a narrative nonfiction proposal and how to wrestle a concept for a book into a clear story. The instructor’s first book proposal went to auction with ten New York publishing houses and became a New York Times best-seller. She’s since sold additional nonfiction narratives, all based on proposals.
