Hi everyone,
I am such a fan of this discussion board - it teaches me something new every time I visit. I recently have read a lot about what to put in a book proposal, but there doesn't seem to be much info available on how to format a proposal. If anyone could provide some basic info from the following questions I'd be very grateful:
1. Which type and size font is standard?
2. Does one double space throughout the entire proposal or just within the sample chapter section?
3. What size page margins are used?
4. In the TOC, how do you estimate what pages chapers will fall on, or do you not estimate this info?
5. Is there an average number of pages for the entire proposal?
6. How is the final proposal bound (staple, binder clip, folder etc.)?
7. Do you use a heavier, more expensive paper or just regular printer paper for your proposal?
Thank you!!!!
