    Publish My Book: Crafting a Winning Book Proposal - The Prospectus (Episode 5)
    Jun 21 2024
    In the fifth episode of Publish My Book, Avi completes his deep dive into the book proposal by zooming in on the prospectus. Avi breaks down the key components of a prospectus and offers expert tips to ensure the strongest output. Authors should first highlight the significance of your work and identify how it meaningfully contributes to existing literature. Part of this process requires revisiting your dream publisher’s literature collections to ensure your research has a potential home. Avi then discusses how to define your target audience, how to articulate why you are best suited to author your research, and how to calculate your publishing timeline, and your publishing budget. Avi provides a sample prospectus template (located in the related resources section) for you to adapt to your own book proposal.
