If I am only a few chapters into my book and writing a book proposal, how can I know an approximation of how many words I can anticipate for the length of the book? Is there a general guide to determine that, or does the entire manuscript need to be written prior to writing a proposal?

Hi, i am totally new to writing and publishing a book. I am looking to write a craft /baking ect book. I am going to sit and read all of your blog for advice (thank you in advance). Before i contact anyone, should i draft the whole book and include photographs which i think are a large part of my book.

Do publishers work with you to take images for your book ar is it your responsibility.

Thank you for your time.

I’m thinking of writing a coffe table book of poems. Would it still be the same process for a book of poetry?

Here’s a question relating to this topic that i haven’t seen an answer for, so here we go. I recently finished writing a how-to book for people who want to learn how to play guitar titled “Thaa Book For Beginners”, and the teaching method is drastically diferent from every other method of learning guitar. My teaching method is also alot easier to learn from, yet I’m really hesitant to get into writing a proposal, because the only credentials I really have are sixteen years of playing experience. I’ve never been published before, and I don’t have an establised platform. What is my best option for this book?

I just bought the book you suggested. Thank you. I will start a book proposal and then tighten it up when I receive your book. Some things just don’t come as easy as writing. I can write a book, and now I hope I can write a book proposal.

See my Facebook: My Two Mothers, my first published memoir.

thank you.

I’m trying to do my homework on creating a ‘platform’ and have a question that I haven’t seen addressed yet. Is it ok to use some of the content from the manuscript on a blog that I create?

In reply to Joe Smo. Great Joe Smo, Im with you. I had it backwards too. Seem to be a lot of work besides writing the book. I did not realize that you promote the book before it is written until I ran across several blogs explaining it. Im not shy but on a tight budget, it would take traveling to places with hopes of getting into the right venue. I've spoken at churches on Godly matters not promoting my book. Guess I have to change my thought patterns now.
