The Book Proposal
Chris Webb, Wiley/Wrox Editor and Executive Editor of our Professional Community Server book, has switched to his own domain and blog recently. I follow his blog regularly since he has excellent stuff about technical writing and books. In the past three weeks or so, he wrote a series of posts about writing a good book proposal (especially a technical book) with great details, tips and his personal ideas as well as some real examples of good proposal sections.
Here is a list of posts that he has written so far (and may follow them in the future):
- Introduction
- About the Book
- Know Your Competition
- Manuscript Details
- Who Are You, And Why Do We Care?
- Tips for Writing Your Outline
- Target Readership
If like me, you're interested in technical writing then can find good information on Chris Webb and Jim Minatel blogs.
