I owe a debt of gratitude to Ms. Lyon. --Mary Jeanne Menna, author of Mom to New Mom: Practical Tips and Advice for the New Mom Don't try to sell your next nonfiction book without consulting it. --Gerald Gross, author of Editors on Editing: What Writers Need to Know About What Editors Do Nonfiction Book Proposals Anybody Can Write gave me the structure I needed to produce a coherent, organized proposal. Everything my agent wanted to see in my proposal was there because of Elizabeth's book. I was able to send my proposal within a week, and three months later, my agent was responding to bids from four large publishing houses.
