How To Write A Book Proposal Library

Report #5

How To Write The Ancillary Products Section

Report #5: How To Write The Ancillary Products Section (in the How To Write A Book Proposal Library) explains the difference between subsidiary rights as different versions of the original manuscript and complementary products that can help a book project to succeed. This report primarily concerns itself with the latter and encourages authors to do the same with their own projects. It is continuation of the mock book proposal process started with the other reports in the How To Write A Book Proposal Library.

In this 11-page report, you'll find:

• an explanation of the four types of products that might complement the original book
   
• examples of the kinds of products found within each category of complementary products
   
• examples of books on the market and their ancillary products
   
• a sample analysis of each type of product as it may or may not apply to the example book proposal process
   
• a sample Ancillary Products section of a book proposal

Free Proposal Consultation or Sample Edit

After reading the articles (or even before, if you'd like), I'd be happy to provide you with a free initial consultation or provide a sample edit for a manuscript. To set up either, simply:

1. Fill out the Contact Form to request a phone appointment (from Lori Lisi).
    
2. Include the status of your manuscript and any submission materials.
    
3. Include several possible time frames to set up a phone appointment.
    
4. If you have a draft of your proposal and/or the first two chapters of your manuscript, please upload that into the form as well.
    

You will be contacted within 24 to 72 hours. This will allow me the time to review the materials and information you might send before we set up the phone appointment. Please be sure to include times you might be available to set up the appointment.

I'll look forward to speaking with you!
