The writing profession is not always easy and selling your book may prove to be difficult to sell. Writing a fiction book proposal is part of this whole time consuming process. These submissions are used for retailing nonfiction works as well as fiction stories.

The novel may be completed before creating a submission for the publishers. Different publishers have different requirements when it comes to proposals and finding out what they are will be advantageous. Doing research before writing the manifesto will be a good idea as the publisher may not need one.

When dealing with nonfiction books making a proposition is easier than making one for fiction writings. Nonfiction writings are really all about having a field of expertise as opposed to a novel which is actually just a story. There can be a major difference between them. Coming up with a good manifesto will take quite a bit of time and could entail many hours of work from the author. There is no use in taking a shortcut when creating your manifesto as this may not impress your publisher one bit.

Selling a nonfiction piece of work may turn out to be much easier. The topic must be something that the author has plenty of knowledge on and that they are qualified enough to discuss. Having studied the subject and having the relevant qualifications gives one a huge advantage over competitors when it comes to selling the final product. It is also much easier to comment on a subject that one is interested in and has the knowledge of rather than making use of your imagination in creating an entire book that is worth the read. Some people however do have the gift of storytelling and can easily use that to their advantage.

Some authors will write a manifesto before they actually write their novel. The manifesto will contain the central idea of the novel to give the publisher an idea of what it is all about. In this way the writer can market the novel before writing it in full. The author will then stand a chance to be contracted by the publisher who will expect nothing less than an awesome novel.

Selling the idea could be hard but getting that idea across to the publisher in a creative way will ensure your success. Manifestos can be brief or long winded and getting to a happy medium takes time. The content in a novel manifesto should be utterly emotional and engaging.

Engaging one's readers by using exciting content is totally advisable. Captivating the readers mind is the key to a successful novel. Every word that makes up the proposal needs to be taken advantage of.

The writer should avoid creating a manifesto that is too lengthy as this may cause the publisher to lose interest in it. If the script is very lengthy then the agent may as well sit down with the completed novel. By reading it the agent will have enough information in order to decide whether the product is worth selling and also whether it could become a bestseller.
