If it's a...Is this book fiction or nonfiction? If it's a memoir, it's nonfiction pitched like fiction, so look at how to write queries for fiction.<br /><br />If it's fiction or memoir, you need a summary of the narrative plot. It should have a beginning, middle, and end. Some significant change should occur, a problem should be solved, or understanding of a situation should be expounded in a new and relevant way. It usually should be about one or more characters (people).<br /><br />If this is nonfiction, you need a platform. This mean credentials as to why other people would buy this book to get advice from you. You need samples of your writing. You basically need a sales pitch as to both how and why this book is going to be useful/successful. (It kind of looks like you're attempting to do this, but you aren't succeeding well enough for me to be certain)<br /><br />You need permission to use material under copyright in your book. For the most part, this means any material not written by you produced in the past 70+ years. You will be responsible for obtaining those permissions and you will be the one sued if you don't. This is true even if you go the self-publishing route, although in that case you're unlikely to be sued unless you're successful.<br /><br />If you wrote this as therapy or a tribute to someone you know/knew, congratulations on finishing. I hope it helped. Unfortunately, it takes more than completion to be commercially viable (meaning someone wants to help you sell it) or successful (meaning more than a few people want to buy it).<br /><br />Sit down and think through your goals for this project. Once you know what you're trying to accomplish, ask if you have questions. We may be able to help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
