Looking for Nonfiction Proposal Beta Reader

sgunelius · Mar 13, 2007

I'm just about done with the first three chapters of my nonfiction book about copywriting for small business owners and nonprofessionals, and my proposal will be complete. This is my first book, so I could use some feedback from more experienced writers to learn if I have a chance of selling my book or if my proposal needs major reworking. Would anyone be interested in reading it?

Anyone interested? I don't want to go further in writing until I get some feedback from someone more experienced in writing a book than I am. What if what I've done so far is terrible? I want to get on the right track before I waste anymore time. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone would be willing to give me. Let me know if you're interested in taking a look at what I've done so far. Thank you.

I'll take a look at it as a beta reader. I sent you a private message.

Triplets,
I'd be happy to read it but I've never personally published a book myself! I have read many books on Writing book proposals, and have written some successful queries. I'd be reading it more as a "first reader," I guess, than as someone who knows what book proposal will sell or won't. (ie, I can tell you if it captures my attention.) The topic idea caught my interest right away... I've seen a lot of bad writing and bad ad copy from small business owners! It sounds like a good market!

I also have 10 years editing experience with three different magazines, and have been a successful freelancer since 2001. Just no books to my credit yet.

PM me if you'd like me to read the first three chapters.
