It is adapted from the Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) submissions form.  \nThe purpose of the proposal is to give the reader the best sense of what your book will be about and who it is for. The length will vary depending on the complexity of the project.  \nPlease include the following elements in the proposal:  \nRationale  \nThis is a description of what the book is and why you feel it is needed. It is also a good place to talk about why you want to write it. The rationale should be roughly 500 words but can be longer.  \nMarket  \nPlease specify the target market for the book, what courses it might be used in and the level of readership. You can also specify possible secondary disciplines where the book could be used. If your book is intended to be used as a textbook, describe as precisely as possible those courses for which it might be required or recommended reading. If it will be an academic text or written for professional designers please include information about why these readers will be interested in your book.  \nIf possible, please list what you think the three key selling points for your book might be.  \nAnalysis of Competing Titles  \nPlease list any titles that are similar or would compete with your proposed book and include what you consider their strengths and weaknesses. If there aren’t any titles that compete directly with your book, it is useful to state why and include mention books that might be similar but not direct competition.  \nTable of Contents List  \nPlease provide a proposed list of chapters and sub-sections within each chapter. The Table of Contents should provide enough detail to give the reader as sense of what will be included.  \nWriting Schedule  \nWhen would you be able to send the full draft manuscript for review.  \nArtwork  \nIf artwork needs to be included, please specify type and number of images – i.e., halftones, line drawings-and whether you anticipate any permissions fees will need to be paid.  \nBiography  \nInclude a biography that addresses, in particular, those aspects of your professional experience that best position you to write this book.","cbCaikKdoJlDNSjm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikKdoJlDNSjm","pdf",57834,"English","# Rationale\n# Market\n# Analysis of Competing Titles\n# Table of Contents List\n# Writing Schedule\n# Artwork\n# Biography","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this book proposal template?\",\"answer\":\"It helps the reader understand what the book will be about and who it is for, with scope varying by project complexity.\"},{\"question\":\"What should the proposal include under Market?\",\"answer\":\"The target market, possible course uses and readership level, plus secondary disciplines and details for textbook or academic/professional design audiences.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the applicant handle competing titles?\",\"answer\":\"List similar titles and explain their strengths and weaknesses; if no direct competitors exist, explain why and mention related but non-directly competing books.\"}]","Design Writing Fellowship - Book Proposal Template | PDF",1788507123]
